Premium Member Paint Me an Ugly Duck, lyrics
Awakened and degenerated, I feel I am clashing somewhere The clouds appear and then depart, just another face amongst billions Millions of colors of the rainbow at one point I thought I was rare Surprise, it is another birthday, traveling through the flow of time Stop this ride, we...

Premium Member Cry Ugly
"Cry Ugly" My deepest private searing pain manifests as "Cry Ugly.” Guttural moans race like a runaway train. The wail crescendos and peaks as a Banshee scream. Tears race down my face… my nose leaks... snot and tears merge dripping off my chin reminding me of small intermittent waterfalls… I taste salt. Vain furious attempts to wipe this viscous...

Premium Member The Interview
Place: Honourable mention “Oh, my dear mirror! You show the queerer, The beautiful and the ugly, As they are! Everything on the left Stays on the left; Everything on the right Stays on the right. What you see, you show, Neither less nor more! You’re the best judge, That we all know! Even for the sake of fun Against none, You never show An...

Ugly Orange Shutters
Ugly Orange Shutters It’s ½ past midnight when I ease my 1989 white Nissan Sentra into the long driveway of Horseshoe Rd. A decade past its prime but its engine is still strong. I’m late, but no one ever waits up. The lights are off, but the moonlight reflects an abnormal glow off the ugly orange...

Above and the beauty we make ugly
Above is the place I wish to race Above is the face I wish to grace Where  people dreams age And where thunderstorms  rage The wildest  dreams take courage And where you  feel the stars stage Above is the Term That we use when success has arms The word that manifest richness alarm Reminder of bellow and its germ Reminder of the bare...

Motherhood is Ugly
I woke up this morning with my hair in knots. Lines on my belly mapping where you had been. Dishes in the sink glared at me as I walked by. The stove harboring remnants of last nights dinner. Laundry remained unfolded in the hall. The washer crying as I added another load. Motherhood is ugly... But today you smiled at me....

Song of old age
Let me now sing the song of my old age, All I recount now belongs to the past. Since the noticed changes are far too vast, Let this song be sung by a real sage. This face, now so old, ugly, and wrinkled, Once shone with a glow, bright and appealing. Though no longer fine, smooth, and now peeling, This same old...
