Make-Up

Hilda, I came across this poem and giggled again. It is so cute all over the place or should I say all over a 'face' Makeup used to hide those wrinkles, not so much anymore. Where did they come from anyway? I just had to respond again, I am still smilng through my "red" lips.

Some use excess make up tending them look like circus clowns. Their original face must have been much better. Indeed a fun read, dear Hilda.

Beautiful

Oh, this was so funny and so true. Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

fun read, Hilda. Thanks for sharing a little humor with us, my friend. Bill

A very entertaining read dear Hilda. So enjoyed it. I’m an original face as I never wear makeup ( rubbish at putting it on ) and probably look quite ghostly :) I love the imagery in your lines and the last line made me smile. Thank you for sharing: )) : )) - big clown smiles ! X

Making up to be funny, Nicely penned

- Original face is the best for everyday ... make-up for parties ... or for the circus clown at work ... great writing, Hilda :) - hugs

Yes, and it seems that many take the pledge plunge.

Not what I was expecting. I like being surprised. My favourite clown was Red Skeleton’s “Freddy The Freeloader.”

Hilda, your composition is both enlightening and aesthetically pleasing. Your poem evoked a delightful response within me, particularly with its concluding verse and the enchanting description of 'those azure starry eyes'.

I love the ending Hilda!

Your poem made me smile, Hilda. Especially at the final line, and 'those star eyes of blue.'

I love make up, and I actually did conduct some international masterclasses here too to teach young women on a professional level on how to groom themselves without overdoing it, subtle make up is necessary as sometimes i too wonder what one was thinking when they come out looking like what youv described. Witty one. Made me smile hah! Your diverse pen always knows how to leave us readers in awe! Pleasure reading your work always. Sending you light always

Guess clowns are in a class all of their own Hilda, :) love this

Love it Hilda especially “those squiggly lines at the edge”! Debx

Ha! Like the witty stab this is!

Personally, I always preferred women with subtle and less exaggerated make-up. Intelligent poem.
