At Vanity Fair

At Vanity Fair, at Vanity Fair
A woman danced with copper hair,
Her skirts were silk, her perfume rare,
In vanity, at Vanity Fair.

At Vanity Fair (Insanity Fair!)
A Man walked where no angel'd dare,
And He called the girl with copper hair
From Vanity-Insanity Fair.

At Vanity Fair (Inanity Fair!)
He taught her that love still could care,
And she wiped His feet with her copper hair,
At Vanity-Inanity Fair.

At Vanity Fair (Profanity Fair!)
They hanged Him high for all to stare,
But to the end she waited there
At Vanity-Profanity Fair.

At Vanity Fair (Humanity Fair!)
He rose at dawn, and she was there,
And she ran with joy the news to share
That His love had washed humanity - fair!

    This is a really really great poem, I like it a lot. You have a very intersting, unique style, and I really loved how you applied that to Mary Magdalene. This is pretty darn awesome.

    Thanks for entering it in my contest. Good luck!

    i read this earlier with sleepy eyes, and was impressed, the rhythm is excellent in my humble opinion. the rhyme scheme flows off the tongue.
