Description

This is picture that went with a poem I did back in college! :o 
Here is the poem I had to go dig for it xD

Fair Lady
"There she goes walking
    down
        the
            street,
creating scenes with whom she speaks
Flouncing her glowing bosom, causing men to desire." 

"She is the symbol of sin,
the Devils Advocate.
Once fair lady, with the golden hair."

"My bridge has fallen. Fallen down the red despair."


Breakdown: The poem was inspired by the nursery rhyme, My Fair Lady. This is supposed to be about Adultery: voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse. Back in the day, if a someone committed Adultery and was found out, they then had to wear a sewn on red letter 'A' on the front of their clothing to forever shame/remind them of what they had done.  

The first stanza is supposed to be voiced by the women in the town. They are voicing their dislike of the woman in the poem talking to their husbands/the young boys in the town.

The second stanza is supposed to voiced by the married men, but the "once fair lady with the golden" is voiced by someone else. 

The last line is voiced by the young woman in the picture I drew. What she is telling us her story. In my head, this woman didn't commit Adultery... she was raped but no one believed her side of story. "once fair lady with the golden" is voiced by the man who raped her. So, she has accepted her fate. (the smile in the picture is to represent her acceptance) 

Enjoy this old drawing and poem ^^;
