Pretty

by Alice   May 28, 2013


"Pretty? No you don't look so to me..."

"A little more petite, you need so to be."

"A smaller nose really you must need,

And not one like a giant apple seed."

"And hair yours must go inside out,

Cuz the one you've got, makes one pout!"

Why bother, though my dear?

What's in that, that's so much to fear?

Just 'pretty' you don't need to be,

And pretty of course, you don't look to me!

You look pretty kosher and pretty caring,

Pretty promising and pretty daring!

So, dear, don't get any care worn

You see, you're not just pretty alone!

    Allie. This is so beautiful yet sad at the same time.

    I think every one of us gets judged or put down for something at some point in our lives.

    Great write, Em

    I only see one very minor flaw here in the second line you should switch need and so or just drop the so from the line. :).

    The start of this poem is very sad though. It always feels like people are judging us for our looks and problems. I do love how the first lines are in quotes like two people or one person is telling another person what to do and judging. There is really nothing to fear. It shouldn't matter what people think because people are beautiful on the outside the way God made them. Beauty should come from the inside and then out. Iove the last lines here because it shows how much this person cares and I love how you say they are not alone. We are never truly alone because all we need is that one person to care. I love the deeper message of this poem. Well done. 5/5
