Your Prepossessing Visage Poem by Nellie Isabelle Steward Cooper

A face such as yours is very-very rare

Very rare indeed is a face such as yours

But the somewhat same face may be found if one is to seek and look in the rite...place.. for the face

This face may not be an exact duplicate... oh no...but close.... not too bizarre and far from the original face

You must do this in a rather assiduous and painstaking manner....the face may be elusive and difficult to find... please keep this in mind

The best point I make is to remember that: (you must not be discouraged either way about it)

I say or mention this consideration because the face you seek may be far to easily found or located....by who? ? ?

By you that's who... since you have now become part of the face finding committee

A face far to easily found may alter your plans somewhat...but..it is just an inconvenience I assure you...

A face may be altered to appear far different from its true appearance... thus any face will do... for you...and it will fit your purpose....but (and this is a very big but) it may not present its self as a face so precious and so rare that it may not be found anywhere.... but just a face

This must somehow be changed this face we have discussed.... but why all the fuss... over a face... it just takes up space...

(But I say to you) ... this is not just any face it is the face... so it shall be analyzed and discussed through and through

We sometimes have to go to work on a face... to give one the rite face.... a majestic face.. a sad face... a happy face...there are many faces.... small faces... fat faces....round faces... long faces.. a face hidden by lace

Is it all just another exercise in duplicity and diversion? ? ? Is the face just eye candy, a conventional way to say.... please look at me and you will see.... how you should be! ! ! ....

But all do not adhere, to this attempt to appear, to render a different face, oft seen with ruffles and lace... is it just a another face that you put on my sweet dear? ? ? .... to hide all the fear... fear of the face... that's what you.... do fear..
