Veiled Damsel

Each flower blooms
with charm and grace.
The one hid by leaves
isn't shy.
It craves to be seen
and inhaled,
like a veiled damsel.

May I just suggest, it is a personal quirk of mine that we should strive to avoid the word beauty in poetry. Perhaps elegance, delicacy even robust grace.

Thank you for reading and your suggestion. I will try to change the word without affecting the intent..

I have now gone with your suggestion by changing it to elegance...may even opt for charm..juggling words right now..

Thanks again...

just fine in changing the words, although I didn't see the first set. I am going to assume that the words that you replaced with "charm and grace" had the "beauty". I like it just fine the way it is right now. It gives me the sense of a young girl that is hidden behind a veil; because of her faith and religion. A girl that longs to have her face seen and appreciated. ~ Geezer.

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.

for taking time to read and comment....good to know you liked it...

initial words were beauty and grace, which I changed to elegance and grace and then charm and grace...
