After coloring my head with dye
I leave my damp hair open to dry
Thus my age, I conceal.
Careful not to reveal,
On my dry lips, some gloss, I apply.
Marvellous poem, Valsa! To think what all we do in life to look young and beautiful! . Specially dancers like me are applying make up and so much of adornment for each performance. I feel so relieved when everything is removed and the real face is seen in the mirror. The original face is innocent and beautiful.... :) ...Top stars Valsa
Conceal! No matter to have it. Lips are open. Wonderful imaginary. Beautiful Limerick. Thanks for sharing.
The bane of vanity! to be swallowed by times gravity! . My mother has been readying her hair since she entered her 30s! and still looks good for her age, I bet the same goes for you Valsa. Either way your beauty as a writer shines through in this clever and humorous limerick. Well Enjoyed!
Re your poem 'Limerick. - Face Lift': - I'm pretty sure i left a comment here yesterday which i don't see, saying i'll use this in an upcoming showcase. I also see a comment from me from last year. bri : )
Ma'am your image is just magnificent. I fall for thst. Your limerick is awesome.
Why, Valsa, I'll bet YOUR natural beauty needs NO enhancing! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! : ) I'll send this to my upcoming (2nd) Aug. showcase. ;) bri
The rhythm in this limerick is perfect, Valsa. The content reminds me of two of humorous poems, one titled “My Sixty-Eight-Year-Old Self in the Mirror.” -Glen
And, in THIS photo, you've captured my sister, bless her heart. Overall, i enjoyed the poem, but....i COULD make some 'minor' suggestions, for which i'd only charge you my friendly rate of 369.229 rupees per suggestion. bri ;)
