Good Night Face

Let me describe to you...my face, how I look Taken from my photo...on the face of my book I have one crooked eye brow...the one on the right It grew back that way...when I shaved it one night The wrinkles in my eyes...are spread like a bare tree As for hair, I've got some...and that's cool by me The bridge on my nose...and to your accord Looks like to me...to be straight as a board Twas a hole in my left ear...now fully closed Back when, I wore an earring...when I wore wholly clothes My chin swiveled slightly...'cause I'm chewing on gum In the depth of my cleft...there's a scratch from my thumb A rough scruffy face...from a two day old beard WHAT! There's a tag on my neck...now that's a bit weird I just noticed it now...while observing my cleft It's sticking out below it...an inch to the left There's a scar on my lip...below my mustache That I got while fishing...an accidental knife slash My face as a whole...narrow, and thin Been out in the rays...got a tan on my skin Ugly, I am, nah...but some might think so Their heads must be big...eh, what do they know Handsome, am I...not to sound bold A good looking man, from my wives...I've been told The whites in my eyes...all blood shot and red From staying up late writing...when I should be in bed Good-Night! Okay, this isn't completely true. The photo wasn't from my book, it's me now. I don't have one crooked eyebrow, I have two. I'm NOT cool with having just SOME hair. The bridge on my nose is slightly crooked. The hole in my ear is on my right side, my chin is swiveling, but not from chewing gum. I have no cleft, the scar on my lip was no accident. I have no tan, it's winter. I am not ugly, I am handsome (lol) My eyes are blood shot, but not from being tired. And it's 8:00 I'll be up for hours. Besides that, everything else is one hundred percent true! The Metaphor Of Your Face Poetry Contest Sponsor: John Lawless 11-22-2019
