Beauty in decay
Secret person of the heart
Loves with all she has
Why valued less than
Her superficial sister
Simple prettiness?
A two stanza haiku, by Meg Sorick
No Longer Beautiful
All my creative pursuits.
Meg Sorick, Author/Artist

She has that old school glamour mixed in with a modernity. A very good blend.

We have an old Victorian rose holder that keeps the roses even when they are old, wrinkled and dried. There is something special about them, as they dry. And they still retain their beauty. At least, I always find those brittle petals still imposing. I like the haikus … believe me if all those endearing young charms …

Thank you Roger. I appreciate the beauty of aged and worn things. Including people! Of which I am becoming!

It’s a beautiful poem. And for the record, I love dead roses over fresh live ones any day.

No kidding? I kind of like dead, dried up roses, too. They’re elegantly creepy.
