You are a flame in the dark, ugly and beautiful
You are a flame in the dark, ugly and beautiful,
A labyrinth of contradictions, a dance in dissonance.
You are a rose with thorns, so beautiful yet painful,
A girl with angel eyes, innocent and yet perverse.
You are a mystery, an enigma shrouded in mist,
A puzzle with thousands of pieces, a challenge slipping from my lips.
You are a

The good, the bad, and the ugly
As the world turns and the days go by
life comes in waves of positive and negative
experiences, but occasionally a tsunami will
knock one senseless and it takes a while
for things to calm down and become manageable
again and I am looking forward to that season

The Ugliness of Money
Why do so many not have enough
for their most basic needs
While others have more
than they can ever spend
They can’t take it with them in the end

Old Ugly Wicked Queen
There was once a Queen
Who sat on her throne
Behind closed doors
Giving orders, abusing and casting spells
The staff rebelled and chucked her in hell
Where she remains still spitting poison.

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

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

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 Plastic Fern
Doctor’s office
The fern in the corner is plastic
They couldn’t afford silk?
There is nothing refreshing about it
There is a candy jar
The old guy has been up there six times
I know because he brings the wrapper to me
I am sitting next to the wastepaper basket
That fern is disturbing
Anything that ugly should not be shared
I would be doing

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.
