True Beauty

For my AP daughters:

One of my daughters on here is feeling bad because she isn't what is considered "pretty". She is a beautiful person but doesn't feel this way.

I want poems about what really makes someone beautiful. No vanity here.

"To see how beautiful you are don't look in the mirror. Look in your heart."


Points may increase if I am impressed by entries. If worthy gold could be up to 1000 points. Show everyone what really makes someone beautiful. HOT has nothing to do with it. Now go

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on August 19, 2008
  • Rewards: Gold: 1000, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100, Honorable mention: 19 people
  • Final notes:
    As always, honorable mentions are in no particular order. I had to add a lot of them and made the points much higher because I got some AMAZING entries. I do think everyone should read the gold winning poem. You should tell everyone you know to read it. It was exactly what I wanted in this contest and says so much. Thanks to everyone for entering. I enjoyed every poem. I hope you come back for my next contest.
