Tahera Mannan Poet Couplet

Flawless Or Flaws

Flawless
Her skin shone with radiance
Peach and rose in perfect balance

Flawless as the diamond on her hand
A sparkling jewel on a gold band

A black heart rested within
Ominously jet, a flawless twin

Flaws
Pretty she was not, had many a flaw
Chubby cheeks which needed a thaw

Fingers hardened with hard work
Was a simple wife of the town clerk

A kind and golden heart within
Helped one and all with a happy grin
