Nothing like a bit of hearty good sense to set off the weekend in style! This is way too fun and too excellently said. Beautifully rendered in excellent good humor with a waltzing poignancy and great imagery. Thank you for sharing!

You half wonder when she\'ll finally comprehend that the exterior trimmings don\'t truly add the beauty she imagined. Then again, there\'s the Kardashians who admit they wear cosmetics to hide themselves, as my close friend does likewise, where, crazily enough, I literally cannot tolerate my face if it\'s hidden by cosmetics. You could ask my friend if you wondered, since she had no sooner complimented me to high heaven over the \"French girl\" style of making up the face (which my late mother had carefully trained me to do), but I shortly washed my face clean, unable to tolerate my face thus \"hidden,\" or as I termed it, no longer my own face. You also remind me of a discussion on this topic years ago with one of my brothers who was disappointed when I listed off the multitudinous means my sex uses to \"enhance\" itself, or rather, attempt to deceive the opposite. Enough of that, however. Beautifully rendered with awesome imagery and a tastefully haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

I can always use the humor and well put indeed. The title led me to expect an Elvis song but I was not disapointed I felt like I had a six course dinner at a chineese restaurant. Enjoyed it.

Wonderful poem. Society paints an image for everyone to aspire to live up to and, then, tragically so many buy into it and spend their lives trying to live up to an unrealistic image. Years of anxiety, eating disorders, expensive procedures, hours of makeup prep...and for what? Oh, and we men fall into it too, just differently. This poem\'s message is so important and you are right, true beauty comes from within. Well done. πΉπ

A wonderful and powerful message set in great metaphor all too real. I too have asked why what we are is never good enough. Why do we want to be someone else? Is it possible that someone else wants to be us? Poor self esteem runs rampant.

Dear Tobani, this is a heartfelt read of the pain and aftermath that comes when a marriage disintegrates. It can certainly play havoc with confidence if you happen to be the one dumped. I see that this poem was written in 2006. I certainly hope that the heaviness and hurt has lessened. A finely written poem, I might add, flows beautifully.

I was married for 58 glorious years and lost my wife over 2 years ago. it\'s not the same as going through a divorce which I\' ve not experienced but the hurt is there just the same and as such this superb poem resonates.

Being married and having almost gone through a divorce myself, I get this. The first line hit me hard because I have been there and, honestly, still wonder if I am still there sometimes. And this is relatable even beyond marriage. I think a lot of people will find themselves relating in one way or another. Well done, Tobani! πΉπ
