More Than Your Face

Dress yourself right,
To make it look bright.

A little curl here,
Or straighten it there.

Splendid is how you must look,
To get into other's good book.

Paint your nails a little,
To make it look glitter.

Thick eyeliner to make your day,
Pretty!to let others say.

But in the end,the race,
Is more than your face.

Ayi,,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
