Babies are born from the bowels of beauty
and monsters are born from the minds of men.
So if all men come up from babies
are not monsters beauty's kin?
I am flattered, thank you. I have always thought of myself as no more a poet than a leaf is a tree. It took me twice as long to get where you are now. You're way ahead of the game Ranger.
I've learned from the best that poemranker has to offer, although there's still a long way to go. I'm following your lead, really. I mean, I've seen the way your poetry has improved since your early posts - in the same way that mine has too (my early posts were far worse though ;-)). Your writing deserves maximum respect from anyone worth their while.
Do not change the title to Beauty and the Beast. A title is not something to fret over (in my mind). Anywho, I really like this - a unique thought in a world of mindless echos. Monsters rule.
lose the "so" in line 3. it just doesn't work somehow.
i like where this goes, and it opens a host of discussion points about humanity, good and evil, etc. maybe the last word should be "sin", and then we can really throw some fuel on the fire, eh?
