Slice of Life Challenge #27
Brush With Celebrity
Students on field trips, couples young and old and little kids all gather.
People lift their cameras above their heads towards her.
Everyone wants a glimpse of her.
Go, go, go
Her beauty, her mystery, and her popularity,
bring us closer to her.
Weaving through the crowds and inching towards the center
Go, go, go
We see her staring right back.
Does she like all the attention?
It’s not easy being a celebrity.
Go, go, go
She looks even more stunning in person.
Fighting against the crowds, we find a way out
Our captured photos provide enough proof for us.
What an inventive way to present HER! But, I must confess, ever since they put the plexiglass thing over her, and the long lines formed, and the sign posts were set indicating where SHE was, and the crowds swirling around, I find that she no longer casts a spell on me. But what an experience for you…and it looks like a perfect day!
Loved the anticipation in this slice and unexpected ending. Very clever.
I was at first looking for a celebrity in the crowd–Meryl Streep??? Then there she was–Miss Lisa. Great way to present someone so loved throughout the ages. I love being in France this week!!!
Great post – love the voice and point of view here. Fun! Makes me think about the funny brushes I’ve had with celebrities and wanna bes, may have to steal the foundation of your idea!
Great post. I would have guessed an actress. Love how you pulled us in!
Great poem! She just smiled that little smile and let you stare. How polite of her. Thanks for bringing Paris to my lap this week. I’m loving the glimpses!
Oh! This was good! You had me wondering and guessing and peering intently into your photos! And then, ah ha! The beautiful Mona staring right back! Great slice!
And she is so demure in her little smile. I too am happy to be touring with you Jee. It looks wonderful to be there!
I was looking for an actress too, then was so surprised! Great job building to the end!
Good one! You had me going the whole way.
Great slice! I love the way you moved us through it.
A very clever way to present the Mona Lisa! Well done.
