Christina Chircop Poet Couplet

In Disguise

She's so perfect, thin and tall,
She's so perfect, feet so small.
Her hair so long, and lashes too,
As if they’ve all been stuck with glue.

Her lips so full, her cheekbones high,
Every curve precise, no flaw to spy.
Her nails so long, sharp as a knife,
Polished to shine, the height of life.

She's so perfect… or is she?
That plastic smile won’t let her be.
A factory doll behind those eyes,
Every detail copied, her soul disguised.

Karen Croft April 11, 2026 at 3:57 PM This is very true, we only see what people want us to see on the outside and not really see what's on the inside. Christina Chircop April 13, 2026 at 7:40 AM Yes, thank you for your comment :)

Chris Green April 9, 2026 at 4:54 AM I really enjoyed that. It makes me think about how we idolize people based on looks but never truly know who they are. Very nice meter and flow to this piece. Christina Chircop April 9, 2026 at 6:45 AM Thankyou so much for your comment!

Paul Callus March 31, 2026 at 7:38 AM I very much enjoyed your delightful poem, Christina. It shows that even at a young age you are capable of not judging a book just by looking at its cover. I am pleased that you are following in your talented mum's footsteps! Keep it up :) // paul Christina Chircop March 31, 2026 at 7:53 AM Thankyou so much, I really appreciate! :)

Keith D Trestrail March 31, 2026 at 6:40 AM I always say beauty is in the eye of the beerholder! Sorry about the dad joke. Someone once said “It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us”. Nice job, Christina, for one so young you are very astute. Christina Chircop March 31, 2026 at 7:26 AM Thankyou so, so much for your comment! I really appreciate :D

Charmaine Chircop March 31, 2026 at 5:25 AM Christina, I love how your couplet shows that there's more to people than just the way they look. You see beyond appearances.You see the real person inside . I’m so proud of you! Christina Chircop March 31, 2026 at 7:26 AM Thankyou so much!
