Hi Sandra. I got a kick out of this humorous poem written way back in 2014. I like to read poetry mostly so looked to find one I hadn't read in your portfolio. I do like the new photo of you in your profile. Hugs, Marilyn

Goodness me, Marilyn! that was an old one, lol. Thank you for reading it! I'm pleased you liked my new profile photo. I thought it needed a bit of updating. :) Sandra xx

Well, I'm a poetry gal. I know you're an excellent writer and kudos to you for winning recognition for your wonderful stories. Mostly I read poetry, though, so I looked for one in your portfolio I'd not read before. Once in a while I write a short piece that isn't poetry, but not often. :( And I agree--it's fun to update our photo once in a while. We're all so curious what each other looks like. Marilyn

LOL...a bit of humor is a understatement. A great and fun poem. A laughter for all and quite interesting. The picture along allowed for great quest of where this poem would take the mind...to my tickle bone.

Yes that is a silly poem, albeit a bit spiteful so I see why you say that isn't you. well written in alternating rhyme. got a chuckle fron the picture and the verse.

Thank you, Tom, it was just a bit of silliness on my part. There have been too many sad things lately in my life, so thought I would do something silly for a change. :) The picture is a real gem! :) Sandra.

You should see her lovely eyes
When she gives her brows a trim
I know that they are rather large
But ideal for a swim .. oh, how ...:) :) You ARE one of a kind, my sweet friend!!

A six for this absurd, quaint piece - and my thanks to your sister!!

Hugs and kisses,

Sonali

Awwwwwwwwwww!!! Sandra, you are just too much! This is the sweetest! I swear, I can't imagine how you came up with this one, but if it came as a result of that adorable picture, it wouldn't surprise me! What a marvelous bit of fun, and touching, really. I just ADORED it!

No, words first, that a couple of hours searching for the right picture. Isn't she gorgeous??? LOL. I have no idea where the words came from, Dawn, but even I giggled as I wrote it. LOL, At the end of it, I had to tell you all, you can't judge a book by it's cover, it is probably lovely on the inside! :) So, go up to all the spotty, dribbling, bushy eye browed people you see today and give them a big kiss and say, they are beautiful on the inside! They would probably belt you one, but, hey! you tried! LOL LOL! Thanks for your lovely review! :) Sandra xsx

Her eyes tell the story, but uh, I don't think I'll be kissing any strangers today. :)

Thank you, Brooke! We do tend to see the weed in the garden and not the beautiful flower inside it's outer leaves. :) Sandra (gosh, I am full of these little gems today! LOL ) xsx

A wonderful full poem, you took me down avenues that I have walked on and trails I have been charged with, it is abuse I ask and give forgiveness, a must read!

Thank you so much, Ronnie! It is another form of abuse, you are so right. I have always found a beautiful person underneath the plain book cover, and the opposite as well, some ugly people camouflaged behind their beauty. Thank you so much for your lovely review. :) Sandra

I loved this, it's great, and so funny , your rhyming is perfect, and your wording was brilliant especially while looking at that wonderful picture,
Proves really you should never judge a book by its cover, but we do, well done,
