Comparisons
Grace and Flaw:
Beauty is grace, a flawless sight,
Ugliness a flaw, in the light.
One attracts with a perfect hue,
The other distracts, a view askew.
Comparisons
Charm and Blemish:
Beauty is charm, a delightful view,
Ugliness a blemish, coming through.
One enchants with a tender glance,
The other dismays, at first chance.
Comparisons
Elegant and Stark:
Beauty is elegant, smooth and pure,
Ugliness stark, hard to endure.
One soothes with a calming face,
The other jars, a dissonant place.
Comparisons
Grace and Grotesque:
Beauty is grace, a delicate bloom,
Ugliness grotesque, shadows loom.
One enchants with gentle sight,
The other hides from the light.
Comparisons
Charm and Blight:
Beauty is charm, an angel's face,
Ugliness blight, a harsh trace.
One dazzles with a serene glow,
The other lingers, a hidden woe.
Comparisons
The Face of Beauty:
Beauty shines, a radiant grace,
Ugliness, a shadowed face.
Beauty in the eye that's kind,
Ugliness, a narrow mind.
Comparisons
Beauty lifts, inspires dreams,
Ugliness, where sorrow teems.
Both are seen in different light,
In their dance, a truth in sight.
