His eyes always see the beauty in my heart. An ugly duckling is the way I think of me. He paints me as though I am a lovely work of art. I'm not dainty like a hummingbird or a honeybee. An ugly duckling is the way I think of me. I've never considered a mirror to be my friend. I'm not dainty like a hummingbird or a honeybee. This man loves me and he has been my Godsend. I've never considered a mirror to be my friend. When he looks at me I see such love in his eyes. This man loves me and he has been my Godsend. When I'm in a sultry mood he tells me I'm his prize. When he looks at me I see such love in his eyes. He's the man I adore; my greatest love in effigy. When I'm in a sultry mood he tells me I'm his prize. My love for him is deeper than fathoms of the sea. He's the man I adore; my greatest love in effigy. He paints me as though I am a lovely work of art. My love for him is deeper than fathoms of the sea. His eyes always see the beauty in my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ March 25th, 2016 ~ Pantoum Contest by: Eve

Hi Lin, Congratulations on your win in the contest. An excellent write. For me it isn't the mirror cracked, it's the mirror exploded. This is up to your usual high standard of write Lin, a pantoum that flows from your heart. A beautiful write with such a gentle flow. The gentle heart is always the greatest beauty of all. This has to be a seven and a fave Lin. Hugs....Mike. XX
