Thoughts on an Unknown Lady(Revised)
Good day Madam........
or should I say Bonjour Madame,
for there is, to my eyes,
a certain je ne sais quoi
about you.
You wear age with grace
as you pose on your chair,
legs crossed
in elegant modesty.
I wonder, could it be
you were once on display;
a cinema screen or catwalk perhaps..........
in your younger years.
You dress yourself in black
with confidence.
You know your jewellery will add
style,
sophistication,
go well with black.
So I must wonder............
Why the red hat?

You are not young
yet you pose on a chair,

Perhaps you were once on display,

You dress yourself in black
confidently.
You know your jewellery will add
style,
Sophistication,
go well with black;
and so I must wonder......
Why the red hat?
