Notes About The Poem

The Origins of Her Stunning Beauty

Her great-grandfather was an Irish lad
with bright red hair. He went to Timbuktu
and met a Muslim, black and beautiful.
Their oldest daughter wed a fair-skinned Jew!

They had a son who wed an Asian girl
with French and Tongan blood, but nobody
can believe the beauty of THEIR daughter -
a stunning product of diversity!

Hello Andrea, I'm home. Interesting poem for me to read, as I've just returned from Bali and Thailand -ah a refreshing trip it was. And during this time I have seen many of these mixed faces, and I've wallowed in a cultural soup. Such truth you write.
