Replying to a comment on:
Acrylic French Nails (Free verse) by Dovina Her glistening nails,
long and thick,
newly craftedâ
the French acrylic style,
transparent finish over finger flesh,
opaque on talon ends,
where were the color ordinary
would have trimmed in
white or pink.
Nothing Iâd not want for mine,
save cost and upkeep,
(growth requiring fill,
aging causing cracks)
and yes, one other thingâ
her French nail ends were green.
Still I complimented her sincerely
then couldnât figure why,
except for shine and shape
and for a rating of herself
a person worth adorning.
Thank you, she replied,
I wanted to look different.
Then an answer rose within
in vindication of my praise,
for I could not imagine
one so bored with looking right
she employs devices
to be different.
