If you judge someone as ugly
what comparison do you make?
as ugly as a frog?
as ugly as a snake?
before you try to judge anyone
you must seek and you may find
ugly is never in the face
ugly is in the mind !

this is really great, it really makes you think about what beauty is, which is something we need to do in society today, wonderful message, best of luck in the contest

simple, but true
But I think frogs and snakes
are beautiful too

Really! I loved this, and it was quite elegantly stated in poetic form. Beauty, (and ugliness), is in the eye of the beholder. It takes the capacity to appreciate beauty to see it, and what is beauty? That is a question that is relative. What is beautiful, or ugly, to one person; is entirely something else to another. A frog, or a snake is lovely to some people, and to others they are ugly. I love the point that your poem makes. Well done!
I love the way it ended, with a perfect rhythm and rhyme;
"before you try to judge anyone
you must seek and you may find
ugly is never in the face
ugly is in the mind !"
Thank you for this grand contribution to our poetry contest and best of luck to you!
