The plain and the pretty which one to pity The plain ones get the husband the kids and the home The pretty ones get used and abused then dumped and alone The plain ones envy the pretty to be adored by men to flirt and be witty The pretty ones evny the plain to have the family and home to feel love, not pain The plain ones say... "My world is dull and so boring I need excitment, need life!" The pretty ones say... "I'm lonley and cry every morning Oh to be loved, to be a wife!" If they could only swap places to experience each other's strife To look into each other's faces to realize they each have a good life The plain and the pretty There's no one to pity |

This poem is well structured and flows well. I hope that the plain and the pretty both will find love. |

after a couple of drinks they are both pretty...sorry, had to say that. actually pretty on the inside has a lot more value to most guys anymore. enjoyed the poem ms |

I'll echo the Dark Man... it is so often what is inside that is important, much more so to the ones who've lived enough to know the difference. well structured...enjoyed the read |

Wow what a write.. and the best part is, irl one can be pretty AND loved, a wife!!  While yes, I suppose one can also be plain and alone... Thanks for the thought-provoking read! ~Amaryllis |
