Rosamund's Bower (Topiary Maze)
by Paganini Jones
There she goes
strutting her stuff
in the evening-cool
Piazza Navona
Her dress
the best.
Her shoes
Jimmy Choos.
Her hair
by Pierre
just so.
Valentino
should rescue her
on his arabian stallion,
whisk her away
to a wicked end
But she's cool
enigmatic
untouchable
plastic;
her face
held in place
with monthly
botox.
She's a topiary maze
designed and quiffed.
Only fools and the lost
tread the road that leads
to Rosamund's Bower
