Vanity's Death
It served her needs
on its knees
to keep her beauty
reflecting
aged with time
it 'creaked' sometime
and her drawers
nearly hit the floor
is she vain
when she proclaim
that "it is nothing
short of ugly"
lift its face
a model makeover
I want a complete other
with beauty and glamor
European hinged
white maple swirls
marble slate of black pearl
an installer's world
dragged down the stairs
beaten with a hammer drills wrath
rising to heaven in ambers
a vanity's death

LeBrozover 18 years agoA little truth here ~
The older and plainer she gets
The more ostentatious her vanity;
Equilibrium maintained.
Anonymousover 18 years agovery metaphoric. This poem communicates a lot with its images, which I think makes for really good poetry. I kind of don't like the phrase "drops her drawers" because the rest of the poem makes its point in a less direct way, so the phrase is distracting. I think it would be a smoother read without it. Otherwise I think it's really good--should be submitted to a poetry journal. Just my opinion. :)
