As Saturday Centus rolls around again, I am rushing out the door early to spend the day with a good friend. In the interest of haste, and because I can't stand the thought of not playing at all, I am using my 100 words to write a poem. As always, the prompt (by Ames) is in red.

Et Voila!
(The Reframing)
Grace knew her elegance would rule the day.
She vanquished pageants like a beast of prey.
Her beauty was the sort that made men sigh
and women grimace, with unfriendly eye.
Of course, her confidence was not conceit,
for judges fell and worshipped at her feet.
At least, they’d always done so in the past.
But now, her chin had sprung a zit so vast…
so wide and deep, she feared she could not chin it...
and it was growing bigger by the minute.
Resourceful to the end, she inked it dark.
Et voila! She embraced her beauty mark.

You did extremely well in haste!
Good job for dashing off something as you are going out the door!
This made me laugh out loud Sue. Love it, I like that gal's pluck! Kat
Loved it.
Funny stuff, and I love the birth marks.....since ah we all seem to have them...somewhere!
All I could think was what a perfect solution she came up with LOL. Good job Sue.
Loved it! The poetry was a great touch for this centus. Clever.
Awesome job - not sure I've ever seen a poem about a zit before!
Nicely done. :-)
Zits seem to be the subject of the postings today - enjoyed the poem. Thanks for sharing before spending the day with your friend. E :)

How brave and creative- I'll have to try it sometime
You always amaze me with your poems! Great work, Sue!
Sue you never cease to amaze me! This was perfect!!
Love the name Grace...I think it's my favorite these days.
It always amazes me that you can take one little phrase and come up with all of that!
Oh, and I meant to add...this is a lemon to lemonade sort of story.
That was pretty good. Poor lady. LOL
And I thought I worked best under pressure! Hahaha! I loved it! I also wish they made black markers big enough to cover my flaws!
Very cute and silly, Sue. I always enjoy your poems.

What a perfect way to start the day!! Thanks for the smile...as always (and I love your haircut, and the previous pictures of your family. :) )
Ha ha! I was wondering when someone would take it in that direction. Perfect rhyming!~Ames

LOL! Once again your creativity is absolutely inspiring. Great job!
Darn, I've had those exact ones myself. Sadly.
ha!
It's amazing that you can dash something like this off.
I guess it's really an indication that you are the real deal...a writer from head to toe!
Wow.
