Distorted Facade

No matter how beautiful one may seem to be aesthetically, when looking through the correct lens, say the internet for example, you can see the true beauty, the one on the inside.

 

Caught pristine water

distorting the pretty face

show the true fractures

you could see the true beauty, only if they let you see it...or you could think you are seeing it even tho its only a big fat lie...

I loved the Senryu format you used...not an easy way to write my dearest pretiest friend

This is how it is done. Three lines that give a wealth of insight.

A worthy read

Well said - I'm not sure what lens one must look through to see the true sense of another - I imagine it may take years. Nice write. Thank you.

A very unique image, yet revealing the truth: only pristine water can cleanse one's face and showing one's true colours ...

Short but powerful, words very well chosen!

[Forest Green]

That's a new format for me...;) But, I certainly like the condensed version and the lyrics are quite compelling.

Good work!

this is an excellent senryu, your last line ties in beautifully with the title, your word choice is terrific to the meaning behind this piece, said with so few words. Nice work

Beautifully written in simplicity, my friend. Great Write.

Beautiful and simplistic. I love this. The ugly self emerges from a feigned veil of beauty. It's great.
