 This haiku is something that was inspired in me by a woman that I am very much in love with. I always tell her that she is beautiful and she always says "no I am not at all, why do you think I am beautiful?"

 

Beautiful you are

in ways you think you are not

thats your true beauty

Thank you Bob. My husband always says the same to me and my response is usually the same as your wife's. It's nice to know that I am beautiful in my husbands eyes no matter what.

Awesome poem. I hope it made her happy. If the pictures are of her, she is certainly beautiful on the outside, and I bet a hundred times more beautiful on the outside!!

Here's a 10, thanks for posting at Up All Nite Café.
Bob C. Oct 25, 2008, 8:33pm EDT

Great Haiku. It reminds me of a song.
ELLEN B. Oct 25, 2008, 8:57pm EDT
Very nice, and I see the two of you together in your old age, still seeing yourselves as you are now. That is a good thought. Ellen B
Wonderful~
Bob C. Oct 25, 2008, 9:18pm EDT
Thank you Sandra, Ellen and Priscilla!

Ellen That is a good thought! Thank you! I hope that she will put up with me that long ;-)

What a touching and loving geture on your part, Bob. She is certainly beautiful on the outside. You are lucky to have each other.
Bob C. Oct 25, 2008, 9:44pm EDT
Bobbi, she is beautiful on the inside and outside! Thank you!
Bob C. Oct 25, 2008, 9:45pm EDT
AR,

Thank you, maybe some day we will make it up there and you can be the tour guide. I think Terry would love to meet you!
Anne B. Grote Oct 25, 2008, 9:58pm EDT
I understand and appreciate this in so many ways. I was once in love with a poet who wrote many beautiful haiku and I still look at the moon and think of him.
Bob C. Oct 25, 2008, 10:05pm EDT
Anne, I don't think that I fully qualify as a poet, but thank you! :-)
LaRue B. Oct 25, 2008, 10:40pm EDT
Nicely done Bob!
Bob C. Oct 26, 2008, 12:40am EDT
Thanks LaRue!
Bob C. Oct 26, 2008, 1:01am EDT
You know I am not a big believer in the whole one to ten ratings thing but lookin at the one on this means that someone gave me a 1 somewhere. Who would do that on something like that unless they have something personal going on and if they do how sad is that? I could see giving me a one and commenting by saying "lousy form" "horrible poem" but a DB1 on a poem is a personal thing over something else and as I said, how sad must that person be!!
Cheri Cabot Oct 26, 2008, 1:04am EDT
 
Cheri Cabot Oct 26, 2008, 1:05am EDT
Bob, don't get hung up on the ratings....just believe in your writing...you are the only one that really counts!
Cheri Cabot Oct 26, 2008, 1:07am EDT
...that and what your beautiful lady thinks!
Bhawana 'Gather Proud Mom' Oct 26, 2008, 4:07am EDT

A great gift of love.
Bob C. Oct 26, 2008, 10:38am EDT
Thank you all for your comments!

Cheri, I totally do not worry about the ratings. I just think that it is sad that someone had nothing better to do than give a DB1 to something like this. The Rating thing never bothered me. I usually do noteven pay attention to them.
Bob C. Oct 26, 2008, 10:38am EDT
Thank you Selene!

Bob C. Oct 26, 2008, 10:40am EDT
Danielle,
Thank you and yes, she is a beautiful lady inside and out. It amazes me that she doesn't always see that beauty but as I said with the poem that is part of that beauty!
Bob C. Oct 26, 2008, 10:41am EDT
