Ideal...

It isn't
the color
of the eyes,
it's what's
in them.
There's always
a heart, but
is it warm?
Standing tall
because of
confidence
or
arrogance?
Pretty is nice,
the honest soul
is beautiful.

That's true for both sexes. My favorite verse, Proverbs 11:22, is Like a gold ring in the snout of a pig, so is a beautiful woman without discretion.

Sounds almost like an extended haiku; it has that lovely, simple elegance.

You cut through the fog and see what needs to be seen. I like that.

I try for the honest soul but it isn't always beautiful in the eyes of others.

Well then..........we now know where you get your beauty. To mangle the Bard a bit. "Your beauty is the beauty of 10 because your heart is pure". Or something like that.

Sparrow - amen.

Irrel - thank you, sir :)

Atavist - I love it when the fog lifts!

EotR - well, m'dear...they might be wrong.

Larry - easier to have a pure heart when anger is gone.
Thank you, dear.

It is always refreshing... to hear the truth. And, enjoying the hearing is no little thing to boot. Thanks for the refreshments.

May your muse shine that sliver of silver which you so kindly share.

Be well sweets.

Doom - the buffett is always open to you, my friend!
