Vanity, vanity.
Vanessa vanished vastly vaunted vanities
Vacating vanity viciously
Vanessa vamoosed voluminous vanities
Vanity, vanity
Vicious vanity vexes Vanessa
Vibrant, virtue viewing validates Vanessa
Vanished, vaporized vanities
Vanity, vanity
Vanessa’s value variegates vainglorious vanity
Vast virtue-vistas veer vintage violations
Voiding Vanessa’s virtuous, vocal vanity

Trouble at the Tea Leafing Café
The rain had started right around the time that Annie was buttering her second thick slice of homemade toast for breakfast, and hadn’t paused since. Not that anyone could tell. The windows of the café were fogged over, and with every seat filled with happy customers munching on fresh baked pastries or steaming bowls of the delicious soup of the day, it was hardly surprising. Annie looked around the room, finally taking a moment to breathe after the lunch time rush. Her old life already felt like a bad memory, a part of her history, always, but just that. History.

Dude this was really good! Creative as hell!
I really enjoyed this poem. It made me stop and think, it made me take a moment to fully understand and in the end empathize with the person in the poem. Noel is a very creative and intelligent writer.
