Beauty..........Quote or pic inspired Quickie


Hi Brilliant poets.

I love this quote. See what it inspires in you, or use the above image for inspiration...

No line limit but not a novel...
Any style or form
PLease no abuse poems, suicide, self harm etc...
no hard core erotica...sensual is always nice...
I am looking for brilliant use of poetic device such as imagery, metaphor, and alliteration but most of all, emotion...
Use spell check please...
If you rhyme, make it unforced...

have fun!
You have 24 hours ...so if you reserve, please finish on time


Here is your quote:




“Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart”

~Kahlil Gibran
