This old woman wears big heavy glasses and an even heavier clunky necklace. She definitely has her own style and is following the advice in the poem and being herself. Living life is and art.
Hope this did well in the contest.

Comment from Kathleen Washnis
She definitely would be an interesting person to sit down with and talk to! Great picture with all her necklaces and huge black glasses! An inspiration to do what you want, be who you are and don't worry what others say! I especially like your line, "living life is art".

I like her jewelry, colorful ensemble, and hair au naturel, but I'll pass on the over-sized glasses! However, at 96 she's entitled!! Best wishes in the 5-7-5 contest- Joan

Melissa,
I have seen this diva on a show or two, and I must tell you - I'm always amazed that, at her tiny size, she can always hold up all that jewelry she wears!! hahaha
Ain't I awful?!
Sorry -- this is cute. Good luck!

Hi Robyn. I know, isn?t Iris Apfel amazing. She is so flamboyant, but it works for her. Thanks for the review.

Comment from Gloria ....
I quite enjoy this one, Melissa. It's neat as a standalone but the artwork just gives it that extra something.
A fine entry into the contest and I wish you great good luck with the Committee.

Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all your syllables in this charming 5-7-5.
There ARE people others take notice of for any number of reasons. They may or may not be beautiful. There's just something intriguing about
them, perhaps.

Comment from CD Richards
This reminds me of a song by the Aussie band Hoodoo Gurus -- Like Wow, Wipeout.
If I'm looking that good at 96, then the embalmer will have earned a pay rise :)
A lovely 5-7-5, Melissa, and well crafted. Best of luck in the contest!

I didn't know this lady, but she's hilarious. I've just googled her. She says she's just walking around to save funeral expenses.
Thanks for sharing your little poem and bringing her to my attention.
Good luck in the contest.
P.S. My daughter's name is Iris.
