Ugliness

Under the skin, it lurks -
Ungodly, ungrateful,
Unjust, and raring to
Unleash viciousness with
Unconscionable acts.
Utterly devoid of 
Understanding, it reeks!

Great write, Andrea, congratulations on your win. I didn't win with my verse, howmanysyllable screwed me on my last line with 7 syllables, I should have rechecked. I'm made at myself. Thanks again for your permission. Hugs Eve

I was reading your works. Your short poems, for example, 'Life at a Glance', and many others are really beautiful.

A soulless, heartless being whose life is pure darkness, he or she will never change my friend, and they will never see light in their life, they are doomed. A real ugly person Andrea, you are too soft and kind, hope you don't know someone like this ,she/he is too evil, reminds me of Snow Whites step mother! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
