It is so sad that someone would be driven with by envy and entitlement instead of learning grace and humility. Lacking beauty or smarts cannot be helped but grace can be learned. Best wishes in the contest!

Good

I don't understand the point, or maybe I'm too stupid too. However I believe should have a comma after but I am not an expert. Your presentation is nice, the masks represent ugly and pretty faces? I think... So we'll done there. Your writing is nicely worded.

LOL! Thank you for the compliment that it's nicely worded. Is it still, if I wasn't able to convey the point of the poem? :) I may work on it some more! Thanks for the review.

I think this story got lots of potential and teaches us a cruel lesson about the human vanity: "Realizing she could never be as smart, beautiful, and graceful as others, Diana resolved to always make sure others would be as dumb, ugly, and clumsy as she was." Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest.

Wry humor--matriculated based on pity! That bit of wit earns your stars in itself. Great ending re envy killed her---too dense to appreciate the irony. Cheers. LIZ
