Sometimes we are blinded by our own choice to see what is there before us...and other times, they are so clever that they can hide it from us. Great rhyme and a good story in your poem.

Like they say, looks are deceiving. You did a good job using the writing prompt words to prove that. The artwork is well selected. Thank you for sharing and best of luck for the contest.

This is very well written and has good wise counsel to it. We need to look deeper into a person's eyes and we need to find out what is really in their heart before we give ourselves totally over to them. Patricia.

    Yes, we do. People can fool each other far too easily because we don't always look deeper.

I'm imaging that this poem is about a serial killer! It has a very sinister feel. Evil is often disguised as something charming. Well done. Thank you for sharing this.

    Bundy was said to be very charming and that is how he was able to lure in his prey.

The poem integrates the six words--graphic, joy, death, spice, charming, and monster--effectively. It contrasts the sweetness and joy of life with the graphic and monstrous reality of death, using "spice" metaphorically to enhance the emotional depth. The interplay between these elements underscores the stark contrast between initial happiness and subsequent betrayal.

Very nice on the concept of being deceived. My mind took hold that there was almost like a haunting of ones self and then coming to the realization of it. I really enjoyed it.

Hi

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!

I don't know if this is you or if this is fiction but either way some (a hole) of a guy did.a lady wrong. Sounds like he has physical beauty on his outside, but rotten plants on his inside

Those eyes captivated her, and then she realized he was a buffoon

I could kind of tell as I'
flowed through the poem that it was about either a person or a thing that was very upsetting

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.
