True Beauty

A little cheese for your lactose intolerant diet.....

True Beauty

 

If shooting stars

And granite dells

Met frosting covered pastry shells

The scene could never be as sweet

As one square inch of your perfect feet

 

If rabbit fur

And beaver pelts

Met satin sheets and chocolate melts

The offspring resulting from that sin

Could not be softer than your skin

 

If Christmas lights

And festive drums

Met deconstructed cheesecake crumbs

The holiday that comes and goes

Is not as treasured as your nose

 

If candle light

And mercury

Met the majesty of every tree

The soul of the bird that lightly cries

Can be seen in the reflection of your eyes

 

Beauty casts an eternal spell

Can take a pious man to hell

That dragon’s smart so watch your back

Many men won’t make it back

Play here anytime....this is very very good. The rhyme scheme is lovely, and the words are so sweet. An adorable write.....but you know that.

[Amy Bumpas]

.......And play you do...beauty is a sin in itself and can make
many a man do what they want. I really likes this poem...one of
your best. I love the rhyming flow, and the humor of it...fits you
so well LOL!!!

Put some chords to it, and sing it to the chix in the corner bar.
They will love it!

[Ed Hart]

actually, i don't think any of us make it back...beauty takes no prisoners...or, maybe beauty makes prisoners of us all...or maybe...

[Jenny Nelson]

What a fun and clever write. Very enjoyable. Nothing wrong with a "light write,"
and this is a really good one.

fun, fun, fun little romp Rowley.
In new york I fell out with a dragon, the white collar sort but just as dangerous.

this is one of my favourites that you have written, your rhyme and meter is superb..and the picture you create is magical. I thought you were speaking about a child until the last stanza.. It's good enough to eat yum :)

I can't believe you still allowed to play here either...go sit in the corner!

Now you know I like this one!
A cultural mix which can only be scrumptious.
Loved this one!!
