Queen

This Week: Phrase Prompt

Powerful yet graceful

This week’s prompt comes from B-A-R member, writer and blogger,

Eloquent Mind

Prophesied as the future Beauty Queen, she had the world at her feet.

Her conviviality with co-contestants, articulate answers to the judge’s

questions and her propensity to charm the media made her an 

uncrowned Queen.

Her Swarovski studded diaphanous evening gown vied with the galaxy 

of stars above.

A swirl of the gown brought her to the ground, literally.

A collective gasp ensued.

But true to the training imparted, she discarded the broken stiletto

and completed the ramp-walk with a smile. 

Thunderous applause echoed.

The media labelled her walk as powerful yet graceful.

The crown was lost but hearts captured.
