Greatest Love In Effigy: a Pantoum

His eyes always see the beauty in my heart. An ugly duckling is the way I think of me. He paints me as though I am a lovely work of art. I'm not dainty like a hummingbird or a honeybee. An ugly duckling is the way I think of me. I've never considered a mirror to be my friend. I'm not dainty like a hummingbird or a honeybee. This man loves me and he has been my Godsend. I've never considered a mirror to be my friend. When he looks at me I see such love in his eyes. This man loves me and he has been my Godsend. When I'm in a sultry mood he tells me I'm his prize. When he looks at me I see such love in his eyes. He's the man I adore; my greatest love in effigy. When I'm in a sultry mood he tells me I'm his prize. My love for him is deeper than fathoms of the sea. He's the man I adore; my greatest love in effigy. He paints me as though I am a lovely work of art. My love for him is deeper than fathoms of the sea. His eyes always see the beauty in my heart. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ March 25th, 2016 ~ Pantoum Contest by: Eve
