Beauty is the Beast | Teen Ink

Beauty is the Beast MAG

By Anonymous

Her skin, butter-cream by day, turns translucent by night.
Her hair, ebony black, shimmers like the night sky
But only to deceive those she encounters
Her lips, stained crimson from her victims
Eyes piercing blue, penetrating those who make contact with them
Her corpse, deemed immaculate by those she lures into her trap
She is the deceiver, the harlot of the hills
But cleverly disguised
The mark of the beast lies in her hands

I am sorry to interrupt but Glenn is totally right, it doesn't flow well and doesn't have a good message. I am totally against 4evr :), stupid name

I agree. It's a bad format.

To be honest, I doubt that's the case. I'm pretty sure if that was the author's intentions, it would be a lot more obvious.

All in all, my verdict is that it's simply choppy.

I believe that the author was trying to display the rough and tough and raggedness of the beast with some rough flow, counteracted by the beautiful writing and poetry form

This is really amazing. I love how you capture the picture of a beauty with a few words, and then intertwine that with the beast! amazing!

It doesn't flow well. Sorry, it just seems like a string of disconnected thoughts. Good description, but perhaps you should put it into a different format. It has a nice message, but it should really present itself better and read better in your head.

Other than that, okay.

Keep the flow in mind. If it doesn't sound good when you read it in your head, the flow needs to be tinkered.
