Shiny surfaces get marred and pitted,
Sparkling still, through earth, wind, fire and air,
Resistant though, to your strength, ill-fitted
To improve upon His plan, fine or fair.
She seems that way to you, whether year one
Or twenty-one, bouncing on one strong knee,
Dimples or pimples, sad or having fun,
However she seems, bewildered or free.
One bright day, perhaps some years henceforth,
You'll toss that rag soaked with caustic cream,
Stain remover, steeped with rage and retort,
Look in her eyes with her glittering gleam
And see what's complete in the incomplete,
Forever polished and so golden sweet!

I'm trying hard to understand that devilishly
clever end of yours. Is it that you will see her natural beauty underneath the paint????????
anyway, nicely done, good rhymes and pattern
and veery warm and feeling sentiments.
This was a nice poem. It was sweet, and obviously describes someone you deeply care about. BRAVO! Though, I must agree with Debra, it was a little hard to understand, but maybe it's because of my age and small vocabulary :P.
Either way, great job! I can't wait to read more by you.
We look at a painting and comment on it's beauty. We see a sculpture and think how fine it looks. The artist that made it, flaws are always present and they could forever work on it to make it better. Like the polished silver, sometimes you have to put down the cloth and just enjoy the shine! Perfection is in the eyes of the beholder. Thanks, Anthony
