make-up lipstick powder nose ...for me, this second line does not flow as well as the other 2nd lines in the piece. there are a lot of strong accents. maybe "powdered" would make the line a bit gentler?
Lily pads and prowls the lounge
pirouettes expensive toes ...great!
Lily looks askance at laundry
socks and knickers decompose ...in terms of word choice, this stanza struck me the most with "askance," "knickers," and "decompose." I think the "looks askance" didn't flow as well as I would have liked ( Lily looks askance). again, entirely personal preference
Lily puts her records on
harmonising talent shows
Lily practises her smile
wearing pantomimic clothes
Lily chats on MSN
emoticonic overdose
Lily taps and points her feet
at the apostolic rows ..."apostolic" is great
Lily snaps her fingers- snap!-
the boys adopt a slavish pose ...the "the" did little for me
Lily is beside herself
third person singular she goes...great couplet
