Gershon Wolf Poet Personification

Vanity

Plump went with Pulchritude
  to try on a dress
The tears in her eyes
  bespoke Plump's distress

Pleasing put in a good word
  Pleasant chimed in too
But all was in vain
            ~ as Pulchritude knew

Kenneth Cheney May 26, 2021 at 9:53 AM Okay I have to admit I had to look up pulchritude. Love the simple profound truth underlying in this piece. Gershon Wolf May 26, 2021 at 5:35 PM Okay, I have to admit that I had to look up 'pulchritude' too! lol. Thanks, Kenneth.

Alexis Y. May 24, 2021 at 4:32 PM Hi Gershon, You penned a good personification. I echo what Carolyn said. Have a great day:-) Alexis Gershon Wolf May 26, 2021 at 5:33 PM Thank you so much, Alexis. Peace and Serenity, Gershon

Carolyn Devonshire May 24, 2021 at 10:36 AM Love this, Gershon. It's almost like a riddle. "Plump" ladies may not enjoy trying on dresses. When I gain weight, I don't go shopping :) Amazing use of personification! Hugs, Carolyn Gershon Wolf May 26, 2021 at 5:31 PM Thank you so much, Carolyn. Hope you are well and happy. Joy, Gershon

Sotto Poet May 24, 2021 at 3:26 AM Great personification Gershon, I assume that the girl's outfit was a little witty:) tears revealed her anxiousness:) Have a nice day Gershon Wolf May 26, 2021 at 5:26 PM Thanks, Lasaad! :) gw

L Milton Hankins May 23, 2021 at 8:50 PM Ah, I like this one, G.W. I recall going to pick out clothes with my wife. She would model them for me, and I was always careful to pick the ones I liked on her. She liked that, too. Gershon Wolf May 26, 2021 at 5:20 PM Interesting, Milt. I used to do that with my wife too. Now everything comes from Amazon Prime, but she still models them for me. Marital bliss, gw
