Cover-Up

Beauty
                   Exotic Oils
         Potions, Perfumes, Lotions
      Mask loveliness, Virtue's cover
                    Disguised

I cannot be around most of those things, for I am an asthmatic. They are poison for me and my attempts to breathe when they are around. To me none of that is beautiful. I sometimes think people who don't bathe dump perfume on to cover up.

In terms of make-up your asthma is a blessing in disguise. But only in terms of make-up, of course. :) gw

Thanks, Kim. These cinquains are a lot harder to get down right than I thought they'd be... A work in progress for me...
