Beauty Is In the Eye of the Observer

A YOUNG AND CHARMING HANDSOME FELLA 
WENT IN SEARCH OF CINDERELLA.
QUITE THE ADVENTURE TO SAY THE LEAST. 
ALONG THE WAY HE WOULD MEET A BEAST.
SHE WAS AN UNEARTHLY CREATURE FROM AFAR, 
WHO POSSESSED A HEART INSIDE A JAR. 
THIS CREATURA WAS AN ENCHANTED BEAST, 
WHO LOST HER LOVER TO A POISONED FEAST. 
TOGETHER THEY WOULD TRAVEL MANY MILES, 
SHARE LOTS OF LAUGHS AND MANY SMILES. 
HER TRUE BEAUTY WAS DISTORTED BY ANGER.
SHE WAS IN SEARCH OF A WOMAN WITH INTENTIONS TO HANG HER. 
THERE WERE MANY NIGHTS UNDER STARRY SKIES. 
THEY WOULD QUESTION THE HEAVENS AND WONDER WHY. 
THE SEASONS WOULD CHANGE AS WILL HER HEART. 
IT WOULD BRING THEM CLOSER OR MOVE THEM APART. 
HER INNER BEAUTY WOULD BEGIN TO SHINE. 
THE LOSS OF HER LOVER WOULD FADE FROM HER MIND.

I like the poem :) The only thing is that I find it a bit distracting to read all the capitals. But the poem itself is delightful.
