You Said I Was Ugly

You Said I Was Ugly

You said I was ugly, and I don't really give a damn or care
Why did you pick me, don't you know you're like a bear?
You said I was ugly, then why did you give me the stare?
I heard you say that night, you could have anyone woman
                                                     how do you dare?
You said I was ugly, even though you thought I was rare!
Rare like what, rare like an open book when a page tears
You said I was ugly, and sometimes I really don't care, there
Why did you pick me, don't you know you're like a cranky bear?
          I remember that one night, you lovingly took me out
And I saw you making flirt with a woman who always danced
                                                                        about!
You said I was ugly, well maybe now I am telling you now I
                                     don't give a hootin' and a shout!

Hello Theresa!! This is a truly marvelous rhyme -- and how you articulate the "Ugly" metaphor as you build out the poem's message makes for a great read. (And by the way, "Your not ugly" . . . and neither is this poem.) I always like the realism and humor of your poetry too. Great Work!! A "7" and its going into my FAV Book!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Thank you so very much Gary to see your comment on my page. I truly adore your gracious views and words of inspiration on my poetic device of words. I couldn't find something that said this poem is fiction. Guess I could have written it myself.. Like Jan A. always said I just went with the flow of where my mind and thoughts went. I had those first four of five words going throughout in my mind for a bit; everything went and fit quite well. Thank you for the 7 and Fav. Most appreciated... hugs Theresa and Cheers also
