A Gaunt Face

A gaunt face wizened by time, portrays a no-nonsense man of convictions, poor, yet proud of his heritage. And yet, beneath that roughshod look I glimpse a kind heart and soul, suggesting he’s more caring than he seems.

Yes Emile, I can see the caring in his eye not shadowed. The form you chose for this contest is a challenging one because of its brevity, but you were able to capture his personality so perfectly. This has to come in high on the winners list my friend. Bravo! Blessings xxoo

Thanks, Connie, like I've learned, " never judge a book by its cover", I like to think we all have a little kindness within. It is nice to hear from you, all my best wishes go out to you, my friend, Emile.
