Marquee stands and coronets,
layers of madness in Georgette
Acts to stir the manic up,
absinthe there for her to sup
Catch her moments, catch her soul,
spirals out of her control
Capable of anything,
as in her head the urchins sing
Audiences do not matter,
moving to her own glib smatter
Entertainment ready spent,
admission free outside the tent
Swoops and dips and sinister stances
cataleptic stares and trances
Delightfully a dame deranged,
a minor cheer in sweet exchange
Need she not partner a fellow,
for her perfect score Bolero
Moonlight glistens bust and face
keeping lit finale grace
There she goes, the mad old sow
showing everybody how
The mind perceives and captivates
far too often, far too late
ps.....remember to look for the added edit - my own little stamp - in each week's picture prompt!

Sharp and skillful; well done.
Love the name Georgette... And this is quite a spinning tale!
Enchanting, as always!!!

Been there, done that!! :-)
I love that she doesn't give a damn about an audience :)
Yeah, she is well ahead of the crowd
Bittersweet...
cataleptic stares and trances
I've caused a few of those myself, over the years! :)
"The mind perceives and captivates

Well said!
Erm...your Magpie audience would find it easier to read your offering if you inserted the actual post on the linky list, rather than simply your main URL? For us latecomers, it's a bit of a time waster having to scroll down for yonks to discover your fun take and delicious rhyming! :)
Berowne - thank you again kind sir! I'm still pondering this week's quiz....I know, I know, it's now Thursday.....!
Margaret - thank you so much! Georgette (with capital) is actually a crepe like silk and it's referring to her under layers!
Helen - swirls of thanks!
Rel - you, too? Me too, too!
Keith - well I'm the first up on the dance floor, so she kinda takes that from me!
Kutamin - she is indeed!
Tess - that's exactly how I was relating to her.
Trellis - Another you, too? Me too, too!
Jerry - thank you. It is often the case!
Jinksy - Jinksy - Jinksy. Impatient Jinksy.......!
Direct links are okay, but I'm giving my Magpie Tale 'audience' (or any bugger really) the chance of a quick surf in case my other posts take an interest. I like to know what else others have to offer, too, not just their MT's.
Sorry to be a time waster. How many 'yonks' seconds are we talking here? One? Two? God forbid, three? My suggestion? Take scrolling lessons and chill out! LoL
Oi! do you know how much more you can pack into your day if you don't need to scroll past one or two posts? You could pat a dog, sniff, scratch your head, fart, put on one shoe, sip some water, turn a page, whistle three notes, open a packet of crisps, or read six words....the possibilities are endless!
nice take on the image!!!
Kathe - thanks so much. Glad other can find me no bother
Anon - you're a very, very, naughty boy!!
