Pretty My Precious

Some guys only 
want pretty
 for the notice they get
Being displayed like
 a prized possesion
They don't understand 
that beauty is within
Because they don't
 have understanding 
That's it's a concept 
worth considering 
Women don't want to be
judged by their cover
Read their book
And see
 what you discover 
Novels take time
to read and comprehend
And most times
You want to read
then again 
 So next time 
you take a second look
Look for the manuscript 
Not for the cover of a book

I know. But I'm bending rules with some of my poems. This is my journey for a novel and or screenwriting. Practicing before leaping.
