Vanity’s Trick

luscious

crisp
fresh
and ripe
seems almost unfair
a thing so plain
even blemished
could be so desirable
that’s vanity
funny how it blinds
to the sweetest
and best
Linking up with Magpie Tales

    Vanity certainly does blind us to our faults and failings. Great magpie tale!

    Yeah. Good take on Vanity Fair. Opened up a few thoughts on vanity for me.

    Like how you pointed out the blemish in the apple and how vanity blinds us to the sweetest and the best.

    'A thing so plain, even blemished could be so desirable" very nicely worded… great magpie
