The Poetic

Pretty is as pretty does.

Remember who you are.

Your rose is jaded.

Instead, it was all about The Look.

Wrote one reader, That look.

Once it was on her face, words werent necessary.

She didnt have to say a word.

Her eyes said everything, wrote another.

She didnt say anything, chimed one, Just [a] look that spoke volumes.
