Move over chique’.
A fogger at the pane!
Paws up pooch, like great Dane.
Up he stares and innocence feigns.
Upfront and prominent celeb class.
Mostly seen through misty glass.
Abuzz your world, in great games.
At the GTs reckoning names.
Struck by supremos, worn out fop.
Cringe at the rancor, right at the top.
Dizzying offices in towering glass,
down in corners, gold whizzed past.
Modest horns, dare not a toot.
In subdued awe at the malicious snoot.
In their chic designer suits.
Pearly shine and exotic fruits.
Work out snatched, on the treads.
Touch off melodies, in lounging beds.
To health and happiness, vital bits.
Well read, confident and bubbling wits.
Caviar and rocks served with wine,
frill and swill along with dine.
Yes for now, each breath a fun.
Smile and beam at intended pun.
Life is now, so live it raw.
Well cut suit and angular jaw.
come on chique, you super gal.
wipe yer window, be a pal.
Speak soft words, hastily lost.
In time it stashes to cut the cost.
Inevitably when, over the hill,
seek you hands from a jack or Jill.
The coaster slows and scenery blurs.
Friends and family stave off slurs.
Diamonds forever? Gleam for a time!
Mime at the fag end, dollar nor clime.

Well, Linda has already said in her critique-like comment what came into my mind after reading this beautiful poem. I don't have much to add except that its rhythmic structure is great and it definitely has a socio-economic elements and reflections of privileged and poor classes blurring on both sides of the windowpane. It's a wonderful tribute as well. But honestly speaking I am not sure about my interpretation. I may have to read it again twice or thrice in my leisure to conceive its true meanings and message..........10/10.
Regards
Naseer

A case of 'the grass is always greener'? That's what came to my mind while reading this, how sometimes we observe the finer things in life with nose pressed against the glass - on the outside looking in. Ironically, sometimes the upper class longs to be on the other side of the glass, too. Not sure if this was your message here, Saadat, but I found this an interesting perspective regardless. Nicely done!
Linda : -)
