I think that this is ambiguity
To say: this one is handsome
Because of his inner beauty!

What kind of beauty
There is in a naked
Skeleton?

Well mate they do say that beauty is only skin deep too, so where does that leave the poor old bag of bones Grin Grin Grin   How can you have inner beauty when you don't have any innards? I like your poem Grin Grin
See, there you go again, making us look at everything from a different angle. Good on you Sergo. Keep 'em coming.

Hi, Coralie!
Thank you very much for your kind words on my pretty clumsy poems. I know some of them look like, well, pretty "silly" but they are questions that interesting for me. I hate not many things but among them there are lie, injustice, hypocrisy ... In other words things that all normal people hate. Of course I don't think myself "spotless" but ... at least it's interesting to have a look at life from other point of view?
Best regards. Sergo.

No, don't ever say your poems are clumsy or silly, because they are neither and a blind man could see they come from a thoughtful and inquiring mind. I believe that it doesn't matter how people write, what form of rhyme they may or may not use, its WHAT they write and the emotional response they can elicit from us when we read their words. That's what really counts and means something. English is not your native tongue, so that makes your work all the more to be admired, because you think all these things in your mind, in your own language and then put them to paper in English. You do a real good job mate.
Now Sergo, I will get down off my soapbox and shut up.    Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
By the way, if you don't understand 'get off my soap box' it's something like this.  There were times when people would get up and speak in public about issues that meant a great deal to them personally. They often met in parks and such like and they would get up on an old wooden box, (the type they packed soap in for delivery to shops) and they would speak to the passing people about whatever they felt strongly about. SO we use the term, of 'getting on our soapbox' when we talk at length about something we feel strongly about. Does that make sense Huh Huh Huh Hope so.  Keep writing Sergo, good on yer mate.
