Kaile; Ilove the way you wrote this, but I feel really angry at this whole body image thing! It just proves how shallow the worlds thinking is. They all need to spend a week here at passions and learn the inner beauty that exists in peoples hearts. A good sentence for the spiritually impaired, don't you think? Good for you that you make us all do some thinking here! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Kaile, thanks for taking in part in the challenge. A wonderful poem, yes it is true that we put so much pressure and focus on image. "A frog, it cannot comprehend the sea Nor me happiness" Paul Draper-Mansun |

Is it me or is there just so many 'fat' poems from you? The fat swan was one... ![]() And yes, you did just describe a fallen star, and the reality and irony of it. People are just so un-forgiving... _,,,^.^,,,_ |
