The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Old lady dressed for the prom.


Relax

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
there’s no reason in what makes one smoulder.
You may be pretty in pink one day
and tomorrow so gorgeous in grey -
all depends on your paramour,
it’s the spark within that drives to adore.
So remember the one you’re trying to impress
is none other than self, not the dress.
