An Angel In Disguise

Why angels are just shown as pretty girls?
Why not as women old or ugly men?
Why not as animals or as green trees?
Why should then angels have only hairs’ curls?
And why should be so serious with no tease?
An angel with no form can be a den.

Hee hee these were amusing questions which engendered a unique poem entertaining to read wow. I tink they like to show off women's beauty in everything. In adverts, in art in angels, in fairies , in novels and magazines, in newspapers ah wherever they can. Attractive women attract. But u r right angels can have other forms too. Thumbs up. Nice to read u again poet.

Thank you for commenting. I have only tried to use some fantasy about the common representations of angels. The one protecting myself is sometimes inattentive and I imagine him as a quite fatty young boy aiming to protect me not always in the right way, but enough to be lovable.
