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.

I have said "yay, pretty" several times now and I don't think that will cut it much further, but yay, pretty!

I especially like "She'll win a heart with slightly furrowed brow/And with a crooked finger, steal a beau." Nice, I think the word is juxtaposition? The thing where the grammar matches up to the opposite bit in the other stanza. (I never took a poetry class, but I appreciate the forms.)

It's acceptable no matter how many times you say it! Thank yoooou. <3 For the pretty compliment and the compliment on juxtaposition.

Yvonne is a great character who deserves a great sonnet to matter what she does in any of her various AUs.

AND LOOK

SHE GOT ONE

She is a fabulous character, isn't she? The kind who's really cool but you never want to meet her ever.

Thank you!

I don't know. I think I'd like to meet her once and blog about my horror with cat macros.
