Different Versions Of You Poem by Yenum Iwenwa

You're pretty, like mad pretty.
Like the kind of pretty
that is unapologetically pretty
without being condescending pretty.

You're pretty, like cool looking pretty.
Like the kind of pretty
that makes one glance twice
and thrice just to make sure
the pretty can be described to others.

You're pretty, like exceptionally pretty.
Like the kind of pretty
that leaves men wondering
if a celestial being
came visiting on earth.

You're pretty, like sweet looking pretty.
Like the girl next door kind of pretty
that leaves one peeping at the window
in order to catch a glimpse of you.

You're pretty, like amazingly pretty.
Like the kind of pretty
that tells me
the Heavenly Father
took his time while creating you.

And these are just the different kinds
I've observed,
but I'm certain there's more
waiting to be seen.
Leaving me looking forward
to the next pretty I'll see.
