Oh, a sad tale!
Nonetheless, it was an interesting read.
You are such a talented poetess.
I love the rhyme in these two lines:
But when she begged for food and drink, some straw to make her bed;
the people gathered sticks and stones and drove her out instead.
This particular line jumped out to me:
for beauty on the outside is no good if not within.
Agreed!

Comment from frogbook
I loved this tale of what can happen when one turns away a person in need. It was a bit surprising coming from your pen to see a bit of a revenge story. Great job and an excellent interpretation for this pic so different and very imaginative.

Aha! I do have that awful side to me when the occasion warrants it! LOL! Thank you so very much for the lovely 6 stars, my dear JoAnne! I really appreciate that. Big hugs, Sandra xxxx
Comment from Jay Squires
Reads almost like a fable in verse, Sandra. Especially the final line: "for beauty on the outside is no good if not within." But there's more than a moral in verse. There is also the mysterious action of bad behavior on a people. A beautiful job, my friend.

Hi, Linda! There are lots of beautiful people around these days, some after having a nip and a tuck! LOL. But, really if they just looked and listened to themselves they would realise if you are kind on the inside it shows on the outside. I'm sure you are a stunning beauty, my friend! Thank you for your wonderful review, my dear friend. Love you too, biggest hugs. Sandra xxxxxxxxxx

Comment from Ulla
Hi Sandra, this is one of the best poems, I've ever read on this site. What a wonderful story you tell within. Indeed, if there's no heart behind the beauty it's worth nothing. What true and great morale to the story. Your imagery is wonderful. I've read it several times. I love it. I do hope you'll consider to publish a collection of your poems. You're so talented. A big hug from a very hot Spain. Ulla xxxx

Comment from rosehill (Wendy)
What a beautiful story poem to adorn the challenge photo. I like the moral lesson and enjoyed the addition of the recognizable words about outer beauty never being enough. As always, the rhyme and meter are perfection and I get so excited when I see you have anew addition in my Message center. I know I can relax and enjoy. - Wendy

Comment from alexisleech
So true, Sandra. As we get older, the real beauty within becomes evident, and we realise who deserves our respect, and who doesn't. Your lovely poem tells yet another wonderful story!

Hi, Sandra
= Oh, this is really a lovely poem--interpretation of the artwork.
= I'd love to have it hanging in my home.
= Glad you had a great holiday. Always exhausting by the time you get home though.

Thank you, Jackie, that's really nice of you. We only arrived home from Italy late Friday night, so it was rather late, and I still have to catch up with the others. Big hugs, my friend. (I've got to catch up on your new book too!) :) Sandra xx
Comment from w.j.debi
You weave an interesting tale of the importance of beauty on the inside. Beauty on the outside can be nice to look at, but it means so little without a foundation on the inside to hold it up. Excellent meter.
