Asymmetry.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I've never liked symmetry whether it be in home decor or physical appearance. Perfection for me is not beauty. It's always the spirit that shines through that defines true beauty. I enjoyed your well crafted, rhyming verse which sounds more than a bit harsh on yourself. A lovely ending too because jolliness is another attractive asset. Well done and good luck! A real beauty of a contender:)) Debbie

Thanks, Debbie.
Comment from F. William Lester
I've got to hand it to you - that took guts. Being open about one's frailties takes courage, and you have it in full measure. Well written. Kudos to you. I have one comment: true beauty is measured by what's beneath the surface and I believe that is something you possess, again, in full measure. Beautiful words. Excellent thoughts. Have a wonderful day and be well.

You're very welcome.

Don't judge a book by its cover. Personality is the real beauty. Don't know people's journey and what they went through. A good soul is what lasts forever while beauty fades. A lovely poem.

I love the way your poem embraces imperfections with such charm. I love the humor! The playful tone makes the message of not judging by appearances really stick. The closing lines are beautiful. It's such an uplifting read!
