Beauty Fades

Title: Beauty Fades
Rating: PG
Summary: Yvonne and beauty.
Warnings: Yvonne.
Notes: And finally a sonnet.


Beauty fades, but hers will not. Her looks
are all she has, her strength and all her coins.
Without her face, her body, all her hooks
Hook into nothing. Now, when she enjoins
a man with fluttered lashes for her will.
she gets results. He gives her what she wants.
Without her smile, all she sounds is shrill
and ghosts of former glories are her haunts.
But that's far off. She's young and lovely now.
Her curves entice, her hair is golden glow.
She'll win a heart with slightly furrowed brow
And with a crooked finger, steal a beau.
But beauty fades: this warning she'll not hear
Until too late, her hopes dead on a bier.
