Isn't Apfel a wonderful figure (an icon) of belief in self and never seemingly to care what others might think or say. Of course, as your poem alludes to, it's good to have a bit of good taste and style to go along with those beliefs in yourself. Loren

Hi Melissa, I love this poem which is quite a different take on the form. It's wonderful and so is the photo. She's wonderful. I have one concern, you've written a 5-6-5 poem. One syllable missing. I would hate to see it disqualified. Lots of regards. Ulla:)))

I love this, Melissa!! This picture reminds me so much of my friend's mom, who was a real-life artist! She was always SO fashionable and ahead-of-the-sartorial-curve, and sassy and cryptic and fun. Just as you stated here, every cell of her was ART. I'm going to print this out for my friend to see and enjoy for the same reason I love it! Excellent 5-7-5. xo

Love it. Age opens the doorway to Diva-hood. We can do whatever we want for self expression (within legalities) and no one cares. An enjoyable piece. Good luck in the contest. Marilyn

Great thought about life being art, and so true. You reference style, smile, and your writing and how you drink your tea. All those things say a lot about a person. I like the picture you chose. It appears that for this woman a lot goes into the details. It all adds up to make an individual. Great work, and all the best in the contest. judi

The picture shows a woman having the time of her life like everybody who works all their lives should do. The words compliment the picture very well. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Hi Melissa,

The lady in the picture sure likes to dress up. She could be considered art, but it's not to my taste. She is rocking 96 very well.

Line two has six syllables when I count them out.

Best wishes in the contest.

Melissa,

I have read and seen articles about her on the Internet. You did her justice with your contest entry in my favorite poem format.

You may be aware that her surname in German means 'apple.' She certainly is a flowery personality. LOL
