Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

True Beauty Comes From Within

Only a few have touched my soul
But those that have made quite an impact
I'm talking about women mostly here
But some men did also attract

Some male athletes can surely impress
Their charisma wins the day
But it's the ladies to whom I'm referring to
Reside here in our cyber café

Don't have to possess stunning good looks
Warm hearts score bigger with me
True beauty, they say, comes from within
Which is what I've found it to be

What amazes me is the number of sweeties
Here in one place at one time
Guess because there's so many on the Soup
Is why I have love on my mind

Wayland Bunch December 24, 2013 at 3:13 AM Scared me for a second there haha, just kidding. There are a lot of wonderful souls here on the soup. I see your inspiration is back, this is the third poem I read with a deep message, that may sound cliché but it's so true, and that is that true beauty comes from within, really resonates through the person, but the Oscar Wilde quote is still funny. "It's better to be beautiful than good, but better to be good than ugly." Jack Ellison December 24, 2013 at 1:08 PM YAH! Don't know what's happening to this silly old duffer! LOL That Oscar Wilde was a real cutup! LOL

Carol Eastman December 23, 2013 at 7:11 AM Forgot to make a comment! Lordy, a mercy! What's happening to me?... Well actually, I know! The kids came home! The washing machine broke down... So took everybody's clothes to the laundry mat! Never seen so many quarters disappear in my life! at one time! Got to use one of those new fangled BIG HUMONGOUS washers! My son helped me with everything... We sat and watched everything wash and talked... More than we've done in years... LOL Talking... that is... Dragon was hipnotized by it all! Jack Ellison December 23, 2013 at 7:30 AM Gotta watch those BIG HUMONGOUS washers! They've been known to gobble up people and spit them out all shiny and clean but NAKED AS A J-BIRD!!!
