It girl
She dreamed of a life without slums,
yearning with desire to escape her past from the pain instilled,
haunted from within by the sonorous vault of insomnia.
The future was revealed by her vibrancy of spirit
that spread like a lit match in the dry autumn woods.
Her charms indescribable,
the country falls in LOVE-LUST with the ‘it girl’
A tangled mass of slept on flame - red hair,
she softly applies red rouge to her silken lips,
revealing a heart shaped sensual mouth.
Dark smoky violet frames in
shadowed eyes of the ‘come hither goddess’
the sweet sucking angels and the envious eyes of the other stars,
try much to emulate her .
The red carpet ruffles under her feet
as she dances to her own wild heart beat,
while throwing off the restrains of convention,
binding corset and imposed morality
she becomes the sought after ‘naughty girl’ next door.
On the silver screen she enlivens dead cardboard plots,
her fizzy-flirty style lights up every silver screen with her sensual charm,
Hollywood drama follows the rich and famous
like dandelion spores blowing in the wind,
her career ends as quickly as it begins.

The fragile young sensuous miss,
caught in a scandal succumbs
to a fickle nation's feeding frenzy
of bliss that was more then eager to blame
its own "Roaring Twenties" excesses
on the once wildly dramatic
life of Miss Clara Bow.
