04. Beautiful Women Poem by john tiong chunghoo
04. Beautiful Women
young women, old women
in their heart
despite the years
the yearning to be beautiful
young women, old women
they look at each other
one with envy
the other with fear and contempt (of the wrinkles, old age)
young women, old women
they look into each other
one for amother
the other for a daughter
Nicely said the reality of wrinkles and old age and their envy to the younger ones though I think in reality cannot be taken as a routine or regular impression persists in old women who have seen the world in different circumstances and sufferings and also glad moments of life. The poem is beautiful.
Expression of a woman's beauty is difficult to determine, but you have done admirably well with this beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing it. RoseAnn
Sensitive and well expressed. The repetition of the first line makes it hang together well.
Beautiful poem. Much better than the 6.2 rating given by the voters so far!

Your pretty good at reading a woman's mind. Showing the envy and needing the compassion. Very high emotions at both ends Good write
