The price of beauty is hard to name for it changes tis said with notoriety and fame some say " Eye of the Beholder" and while that is true in part there are some things pure ugly the most will call it "ART " " Beauty is found within" say others yet still they cannot say what be the price of beauty fine no matter where its source may be I've seen enough of beauty rare of beauty simple too and fair in birds and trees rocks and flowers in precise ticktock of the hours but the price of Beauty one can know one simply has to ask the Rose for once like others once was she a simple flower like clover seen a rose you could find anywhere in forest dark and mountain bare but to have 'beauty' a deal she made and oh the sad deep price she paid for her beauty lay trapped in thornes alone ...remote not like before and though of her beauty are sonnets made she rues the day and price she paid for once she boldly faced the Frost and through the Winter was not lost she ruled year round like Evergreen sweet small crowns of many queens but now her petals fall like rain though hallowed is her oft sung name and up she'd give her sweet perfume to turn back ever her blackthorned doom the price of Beauty I suppose is greater still than anyone can know (( and here's a bit of wisdom more for those of you sad ends abhor beauty cannot be bought in store despite the price on showroom floor true beauty is a state of heart free of charge so it will not part so seek out now the beauty YOU and then let others see it too )) ~Which way did They go? How many of Them were there? I MUST find Them!! I AM THEIR LEADER!!~ Author Unknown..well at least to me..:) |

Wow! Into the library this goes. Very well expressed, I really like this, you've added a uniqueness to an often over-used metaphor, and you make the reader think!

Astonishing...I thought you already blew me away with your other work but this one is another that makes you go 'hmmmmm'!  What can I say Sol...you bring a lot of truth and time spent pondering to teach us all that beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Loved it...into my library it shall go!!!!!!! hehehe  ~~Jamie I mean the opposite of what I say. You've got it now? No, it's the other way. ~Bruce Bennett |

ah one of the most important lessons in life, expressed so well, gonna put this in the library too Don't ever give in, if you do you've lost everything you've ever had and everything you hope to gain, but if you carry on your already winning. |

Very beautiful...Once again your words have made a smile appear on my face. Thankyou.  Your time is here. Take one last look at it, then never come back. This part of your life is already over... [This message has been edited by Broken_Winged_Angel (edited 03-07-2001).] |

I think this is one of the best poems I have ever read, so much thought you send with this one, and yet it is so precious in it's meaning. |

Nicely done here Son. Truth be told within this poem of yours. Bravo! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |
