LIVING IN ATLANTIS #11Haiku

LIVING IN ATLANTIS
...by Poetic Tee, "Here, take a sip"

One sees her type, light
In midst of lesser damsels
A pomp step ahead.

Passing glance, in hope
Annoys her, when she's ignored
Her temper on edge.

Snaps like a tigress
At slightest provocation
Tears tear tainted cheeks.

Beautiful she was
That was then, one sees traces
Of age vanquished grace.

Attention she craves
Showered on her, way back when
Morning dews refresh.

Dined, danced in 5 stars
She once flew on fortune wings
Hand in hand, prince, kings.

Bonn, Paris, New york
Sphinx, Eiffel, Burj Khalifah
Touring all earth's crèmé.

Just passed her zenith
So, desperate to get hooked
Before twilight shows

Many came whom you shun
Don't take it on any now
Bees sniff-suck flowers.

Too much for the poor
Too poor for the rich, she knows
A dream lost to pride.

Could have had it all
Man, wealth, kids, home and prestige
Missed her chance, she did.
