POEM

An Ode To My Ugly Necklace


My so-called "ugly necklace" has quite grown on me.
It's hideousness bewitching.
Clumsy - yes.
Awkward - a bit.
But, on my neck, a perfect fit.

With it on I feel lke a goddess,
The stares -- they don't phase me.
Though I must be particularly careful
Not to get stung by an amorous bee.

Critics call my work "over-zealous,"
But I think they are just jealous.
"Principles of Composition,"
Oh please!
Beauty is what the beholder sees.
