Of course you are not model thin,
And yes, you have some blotchy skin.
Your nose may lack the market price,
But that has never been a vice,
The greatest beauty lies within.
You have a slightly crooked grin,
And what it does to me is sin;
I should not have to tell you twice,
Of course you are
Beautiful, it makes me spin.
I love the dimple in your chin,
The parting in your hair, precise,
And yet for you it won’t suffice;
You ask me, “Am I?” with chagrin.
Of course you are.
The Rondeau Challenge is ongoing, as are all challenges, for whenever you have an itch to try something new.
Reowr 
sweet! I love it! Beauty truly IS in the eye of the beholder…and the more i love someone the more beauty I see. π
Yes, I find it difficult to distinguish inner and outer beauty for they become one and the same through the eyes of love. π
Beauty within. And beauty in the beholder. Lovely.x
Always. π
Lovely words.
Thank you kindly. π
So sweet:)
Purrrr. π
I sooooo loved this. There’s something about those last two lines that really touched and tickled me – gorgeous. Oh, and rhyming grin and sin…I wasn’t expecting that one:-) H xxx
I’m so glad you enjoyed this one. π
this made me smile.. i love this very much.. xo
Your smile makes me smile. π
Cubby, So precious, I love the last line, “Of course you are!” Besides beauty is in the oye of beholder…
Beauty most certainly comes from within. Very good.
Thank you! π
i’m truly touched in fact. so much i wish i was in love.
I think you have a warm and loving heart and hope you find someone who will treasure it. π
thank you. you are warm and loving for saying so..
Yipes…what a lovely song! It made me smile from ear to ear! Have fun!
Amen to this message! Fantastic job!!! π
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. π
Wonderful message….one I often need to hear. π Hope you are enjoying your time away!!
I think most females need to hear this message to counteract the insecurities that we have learned we should have about our appearance. I enjoyed my time away, but I am happy to be back home! π
Love this message. We need more people advocating for inner beauty π
It would be nice if there were more MALES who did this though hehe. π
Yes, we do! Do you know of the blogs – “miss representation in America” and “the art of manliness”? If not, you should check ’em out π
This reminds me of the classic song “My Funny Valentine”!
Is your figure less than Greek?/Is your mouth a little weak?/When you open it to speak, are you smart?/ But don’t change a hair for me/Not if you care for me/ Stay, little Valentine, stay!/Each day is Valentine’s Day….
“My Funny Valentine” is harsher in the depiction of the female’s appearance as “laughable” and “unphotographable”, but the message is definitely the same. π
True, it has an edge to it! But that’s Lorenz Hart all over.
I love it! And will consider doing more challenges. Come back safe.
I came back safe…although we passed at least 10 cars that ended up in ditches because of all the snow. Time to get the winter tires on!
Oh dear, that’s not good.
WoW that is beautiful
I’m so glad you think so! π
Lovely π
Thank you so much! π
Such a lovely poem, Cubby! I think this one will resonate with many readers.
Well, female readers at least, and I suppose male readers who have to put up with these females lol. π
Sigh satisfactorily after reading poem. Lurveet!
π
Heart warming π As always.
Thank you so much. π
I like this very much.
I’m so glad you do! π
Cool!!!!!!!!! Nice one Cubby!
Oh this is so nice!
When you love someone, everything about them is beautiful. Wonderful words.
