Poor Di and Dodi
Squashed by a concrete pillar
Paparazzi feast.

Fields of sad flowers
Memorial water works
O transient fame.

Glam dead Princess Di
Supplanted by a fat horse
Ultimate dumb blonde.

Ain't it the truth...tight, succinct. Not sure their fame is transient, regardless of whether that's good or bad. write on.

The poet says a lot within nine lines, the imagery and emotion have clarity. Paparazzi feast indeed. They photographed the carnage of the concrete pillar for francs and I wonder of what worth that they spent them on, instead of dialling the emergency services to save life they served themselves and increased their bank balances with photo's flashed to the world, even in death this lady had no privacy.
I understand the poet says there were faux tears, faux fame and yet the saddest thing of all is this lady went against the protocal of the Monarchy, she held hands with lepers, went to war torn countries to give media coverage to landmines left that were disabling children, she hugged Aids sufferers, was she perfect? I doubt it, who is perfect? But she tried her best within her given circumstances and perhaps, perhaps that is all any of us may do, is it not?

sad situation for Di . . interesting viewpoints . . liked "Memorial water works" and "Ultimate dumb blonde" . . Di certainly gave her all for her country and she is really missed . . wish the ending had been different . .
