Poem-a biography

Last one standing, Heard, Breaking the rules, Dancing till dawn

Noticed, good, bad, good, bad, setting the tempo, doing it my way

Me.

Who says I can’t be English, Muslim and a beauty queen?

English Rose, Local flavor, French accent, Paris match

Simply beautiful, go ahead, smile out loud, get comfortable in your own skin

Introducing revolutionary beauty without rules

A flair for individuality, mix it up, take charge

Never opaque, never fake, always

Me.

She knows the coolest moves

She makes her arm warmers from sweat socks

The stuff of legend, multi-faceted

Dress like a star, your city comes in shades all its own

Wave of the future, a black-tie affair, a new fragrance

Well-read, it’s all relative, razzle-dazzle ‘em,

It felt like a fairy tale

As a finishing touch,

Oscar de la Renta tied a bow around my dress,

Tailor made, making a splash, simply beautiful.

Me.



This was a project for a literature class...I made it a bit more personal than was required. All we had to do was simply find words in a magazine and paste them together to make a 'found poem'. Well, I found a bit of myself in doing so...
