Unbeautiful
Unbeautiful
grows in a garden
among the flora there
Unassuming
in her plain dress
as roses gawk and stare
Unadorned
in creamy petals
nor blush upon her face
Unwanted
she stands defiant
roots firmly held in place
Unaware
of her gifts and virtues
seeking only second best
Unbeautiful
could never see
the beauty she possessed

oh! what a lovely poem and so true.
there are those unaware of their own beauty and potential for greatness!it is, i guess, a very endearing quality.
Beautiful. :)
That is a beautiful picture, and beautiful poem by Robin!
Thank you Jo!
I am truly honored :)
That is beautiful - both the poem and the photo.
One of Robin's best...
I love the flower, and the poem .....
The picture and the poem match perfectly. It's what everybody sees in a dandelion.
That was truly lovely and yes, provocative too! Thanks for sharing.
Wherever you post your poems Robin, they still come out lovely and meaningful.
