Woman will do anything to have a perfect skin without any flaws even when it means we have to go through lots of pain and suffering

Yes, isn't it strange how many creams and cosmetics are purchased each year by women. I have never tried the products I mentioned in this poem , but got the info off of TV commercials. I had fun putting this together. Thanks for your kind review.

I actually have never used any of the products mentioned in my poem. They came from ads on TV. Thanks for reviewing, I had fun with this one.

The answer to the rhetorical question 'Is it too much to ask' would depend upon who answers. It could be no and yes. No - from the person who wants her complexion to be clear at any cost. It is yes from the point of rationality and practical considerations. But the title 'ego' pre-empts further discussion.

Hi
great poem. We all suffer this ego thing and spend hours applying potions, lotions, face masks, steamy towels and hide the blemish pan sticks but none ever really works. It's what's inside that counts.
Nice poem with a cheerful flow that rings true for most of us, thank God for air brushing.

This verse flows exceptionally well I think. It doesn't feel strained at all.

One can see shelves of products at every store. I actually have never used any of the products mentioned in my poem. They came from ads on TV. Thanks for reviewing, I had fun with this one.

Well, 'pon my word. A rhyming account of a lady's quest for a smooth face. It does go right for the prompt with what is probably the most-asked of rhetorical questions. Excellent.

Very relatable. I found that the healthiest skin doesn't come from the products in our face, though they help but what we put inside or bodies, healthy or unhealthy, comes out our pores. Great poem.

Good job and thanks for sharing. I see no changes. Your message comes through loud and clear. The art work complemented well the message of the poem.
I love the last line -

Thanks for reviewing. I had loads of fun putting this one together, although I have not tried the products. Just watched TV ads.

My ex-wife always swore by those mineral based make ups, soaps and cleaners. As for me, I just use Irish Spring. It seems to work just fine for what I need.

Your rhetorical question poem for the contest is certainly well rhymed, and it does present us with an interesting query. And no, I wouldn't think a clear, youthful complexion would be too much to ask for, not in the grand scheme of things.

Well done, and best of luck to you in the booth.

A clear complexion is just a recent reflection of the world we live in. We are all full of flaws, some have more than others have. This is a well-written piece of poetic artistry to have read and written this response for... John
