Drew, at The Lonely Author blog, has a beautiful and romantic way with words. Today I’m sharing his poem, The Beauty of a Woman, for my Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse post. I think the picture he chose to accompany this work is adorable! Enjoy. Thank you, Drew.
the beauty of a woman
Woman
an enchanting paradox
for some
an alluring mosaic
to my eyes
A masterpiece
of artistry and love
She is a portrait
of her laughter
and long forgotten tears
A collection of stunning
jigsaw pieces
of heartbreak and memories
collected through the years
She is a labyrinth of emotions
a sweet sum of all her parts
To truly appreciate
the beauty of a woman
you must discover
the little girl
for she will forever be
a priceless work of art

Hi Mary (and Drew). That is the most adorable photo I’ve seen in a long time. I remember when I was a little girl, the teenagers an used empty coffee can as a giant roller to help straighten their hair.
The poem is lovely. Great choice for a reblog, Mary. Hugs on the wing.

The little girl reminded me of my stepdaughter, but she drank Pepsi. (I don’t know if she still does.) I think Drew nailed it as he usually does. Thanks for visiting, Teagan. 🙂
