Deceitful as a serpent
that slithers along at night
Vanity thy name is woman,
vainglory has blinded thy sight
The illusion of beauty has
filled thine heart with conceit
Complacency to wonder in the
isles of isolation and defeat
Your immoral admiration has
cast a venomous spell
enchanting as the violets that
adorn the pinnacles of hell
A voluminous distraction
that ensnares your mortal soul
In a dimension of folly where
you eventually turn gray and cold

I have to agree with my co-judge that this is simply a perfect example of use of vocabulary to create one so flowing pice of poetry. I like the metaphors and how you draw the image of vanity resembling a snake. Quite nice.

Exceptional use of colour and topic to produce
a focused verse that flows wonderfully.
