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

Very good description and choice of words. Your writing flows really well. Hope to see more in the future

nope :) Never read the books or seen the movie. The poem isn't about vampires.

Your description and syntax are nicely done.

There are probably a plethora of Twilighters on this here weyb-sight.

The poem's okay. Would have been better if you had taken it out of the box.
