Around The Square Poem by Martin O'Neill
Around The Square
A shopping shark shimmers
In the city centre seize
Picking off the bargains
With a practised, fluid ease
Plastic card whispers
As designer bags fill
Parades her Prada handbag
Like a hunter with his kill
A Starbucks and a breather
On the corner of the square
Sips a skinny latte
And restyles a wayward hair
Then uncurls from her table
Like a languid, waking cat
Adjusts her perfect hemline
Shakes a sunbeam from her hat
So graceful on stilleto heels
She negotiates the square
The minnows part and shoal around
Parfum, lingers, on the air.
As long as she uses her own hard earned money, we have nothing to complain about, Am I right?
I would change the word perfume to parfum! lol..more classy and French! I could almost smell the faint whiff..whoa, down, fellas!
So you've seen her too eh......it's the Parfum that lingered on the air, that really got you....and the way she knew her bottom swayed as she walked away........
Has an exceptional flow to it. She brings to mind P. Hilton or one of the Kardashians. Excellent write, quite vivid and cleverly crafted. tfs
Such a lot of things they buy, in the incessant search for happiness! Another gem! Tom
