Beauty
by Juliet Waldron → (All Poetry by Juliet Waldron)
   Rated "PG13" by the Author.

Written long, long ago in the Age of Marilyns, when it suddenly dawned on me...how powerfully culture and fashion determine what's "beautiful."


Poem Artwork




I am not blonde,
but can’t I be a goddess?
I am not tall,
but can’t I hold the serpents?

Yes,
Little Lady of Crete,
locks of brown, bare
breasts, round belly
worth many kisses,
you too can have a scallop,
and ride the sea swell.

Juliet,
A telling probe into the world of aesthetics, Venus revisited, redefined...and indeed the Snake Goddess has her own special charms. Lovely lovely work.

Dear Juliet,

I am an archaeologist who discovered Authors' Den very recently and am now addicted to the website. I enjoyed reading "Beauty" and seeing the Minoan "Snake Goddess".

Best wishes for 2009,

Eric De Sena

Ah, but beauty is always in the eye of the beholder isn't it. Always be proud of who you are and the rest will come naturally....

Be always safe,

True--culture, fashion and time change what is considered beauty. There was a Twilight Zone segement that dealt with that topic and the ugly one was a woman that would be considered a knock out by our culture.

Juliet,

Beauty is this poem of acceptance for woman, for whom She is. Packs a powerful punch in few perfect words. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
