blog 8 - Mrs Pamela - li xinyan (Effy) - Appreciating Poetry

diamond format :
beast
ugly, lonely
weeping, screaming, struggling
transformation, face, body, soul
smiling, singing, dancing
graceful, elegant
beauty

She was a beast,
She was ugly,
She was lonely;
She used to weep, scream, 
and struggle;
She prayed to god every night,
 Longing for a transformation,
a face,
a body,
That matched her soul.

Now,
She is smiling,
She is singing and dancing;
Look at the graceful, elegant lady,
She has become a beauty.

  2. What a magical poem! It made me recall the Disney movie of "The Beauty And The Beast". But this time, "the beauty and the beast" are the same person; the beast finally became a beauty. Then, how beautiful she is?

  3. It is really a magical poem about beast and beauty. I think eveyone is beautiful if he or she has a pure soul.

  4. This poem touches me. I think if we have a pure soul in our mind, we have already been the most beautiful ones.
