"Beauty Defined" (a poem I wrote recently)

Beauty Defined

The fine golden hair,
White shiny teeth,
Hourglass figure,
The definition of beauty,

With eyes as blue as the sky,
Full, luscious lips,
Strong legs like that of an athlete,
The definition of beauty,

Silence fills the room as she enters,
Heads turn instantly,
Mouths agape,
The definition of beauty,

With all attention on her,
She opens her mouth,
Stumbles over her words,
In a cringe-inducing sound,

She lays in bed that night,
Her face firmly implanted on the pillow,
A sadness comes upon her,
As eyes are not on her,

A woman wakes up the next morning,
Appearing pasty and obese,
Preparing to educate our children,
The definition of beauty,

Words emanate smoothly from her mouth,
Tending to our children’s needs,
Exuding intelligence, confidence and dedication,
The definition of beauty.
