The 12 inch heel, the confident gait, The measured steps, the sudden halt, The blush on cheeks, the smoldering eyes, The hands on hips, head held high, The silken gown, barely there, A tilt of neck, balanced well, The sultry glance, timed right, Perfect half twirl, played twice, With a graceful swirl, she turns back. The world looks on with stolen breath, Oohs, aahs, applauds, encores. The showstopper’s yesterday, Now hangs in a gallery, Fading parchment, guarded unnecessarily. No shadows of glamour come a-chasing, For vacant eyes and sagging skin, For shattering illusions, hanging questions, Am I never going back?

Rhapsody resounds, resonating for eons, what'll be your echo?
Nice Senyru, Ruby. 'Yesterday' is an excellent choice of "Y" words. Since my blog is quite picture oriented I have not thought of doing my 'Alphabe' letter word in verse.
ReplyDeleteIt would have worked good on my other blog, Jim's Little Photo and Poem Place. There I am more writing, poetry mainly, oriented with illustrating pictures.
..
Thank you Jim.
