Excellent

Good morning to you, Craig

I often use the word 'beauty' in my work and I'm so pleased to have discovered this word-- Beautihood'

Enjoyed the philosophy of this brief poem. Looks often override the depth of ourselves.

kind regards

-Nice choice of artwork, Craig.
-Effective description, rhyme, and meter.
-I like the ideas about "beautyhood"
in your poem.
-It seems she begins by having it all,
but, as many do, had a lot to learn
about life and people, and herself.
-I like the change in her attitude
in the conclusion.
-Thanks for sharing.

Now, though in worldly terms, she's poor,
compassion has become her art.
She welcomes strangers at her door,
and greets them with an open heart

I could really appreciate this poem. It is indeed about life and you did a great job of capturing it. I was very impressed.

This speaks about beauty; that beautyhood comes in time but it goes with passage of time, like law of Nature; well said, well done. Keep Writing -- DR ALCREATOR

This is simply lovely. And what a wonderful moral - that there are things in life that are far more important than good looks and the admiration of others. Well done - a perfectly crafted poem with a lovely meaning.
