Eight-line Poems

Contrary

Contrary

Beauty is in the eye of the besotted,
elegance is not attractive to some,
pretty is, too often, not enough,
gorgeous can be too much, too soon.
So wayward is the human heart,
there are times when it is lost
for reasons incomprehensible,
and awkward the catalyst of love.
