The Haiku Challenge 2012 – Day 15 – Beauty lies
Feb 15
Day 15: This image is the prompt for today’s haiku
Beauty lies
A smile so cheerful
like a lotus found in slush
truly makes my day
Inner beauty speaks
through the heart with a sweet smile
Nothing else matters

This speaks to me, my dear friend. Inner beauty is the very best kind. How did you become so insightful? You are amazing!
Awww, Terri! Thanks. You say the most beautiful things! I’ll take that as a compliment.
“Inner beauty speaks

Nothing else matters”

What a funny picture! I love that it led you to reflect on inner beauty!
Emily, the first thing that came to mind when I saw the photo was how I would hug my little fella even when he was covered in slush
– and that naturally led to inner beauty 
Thank you for your comment. 
You know I am in love with your writing.
Inner beauty is what truly matters.
And perfect hair.
Kidding.

You’re a doll! Yes. Hair matters. Especially for me, right now. I am losing so much of it! Hugs!
Another beautiful piece. Wish I can write like that too. Well done, Vidya!
Oh, Evelyn, thanks! Hugs to you for the lovely words! (I think you write much better!)
