mobile mannequins
and animated paper dolls
sashay sensuously
elegantly down the catwalk stage
satin lacy silky sequined things
midst cheers and catcalls
swish sassily
flamboyant flashing floral corsage
super sexy
souped up coutured super models
all pretty petite neat
and beneath a certain age
some chic
some anorexic most centrefolds
posed and exposed
upon the playboy page
beauty’s temporal fragile
orchid petals
exploited
under neon spotlight vantage
oh how quickly the flower fades
and falls
ere the lust
for life and love it can assuage
but the glitzy
glamorous tinsel world
still enthrals
young models with old dreams
along life’s catwalk stage

- George Newton Vivian Chance (Trinidad and Tobago) -- member of the Poet Society of Trinidad and Tobago, http://poetssocietytt.blogspot.com/ and the World Poets Society, http://world-poets.blogspot.com/ -- born in Tobago on 3rd March 1957. While residing at Rio Claro was inspired to write over a hundred poems at the turn of the Millennium. Hobbies include playing wind instruments, building computers, observing nature, reading and writing poetry. Believes that the power of a song is in its ability to evoke emotions by the marriage of lyric and music but that music without lyric can be just as powerful, that lyric without music can also be just as powerful, that there is music in the lyric and that lyric can be simple yet profound. Also, in this the age of computers, would like to model his lines after simple and efficient code and, analogous to Object Oriented Programming, achieve most of his imagery from nouns and verbs, avoiding the bloat and excess of unnecessary adjectives. This is what he aspires to attain in his poetry.
