Beauty is the Beast MAG
Her skin, butter-cream by day, turns translucent by night.
Her hair, ebony black, shimmers like the night sky
But only to deceive those she encounters
Her lips, stained crimson from her victims
Eyes piercing blue, penetrating those who make contact with them
Her corpse, deemed immaculate by those she lures into her trap
She is the deceiver, the harlot of the hills
But cleverly disguised
The mark of the beast lies in her hands

This is a great poem. I love the usage of powerful words in comparison to using simple, ordinary and everyday words. The imagery is great! "Her skin, buttercream by day, turns translucent by night" (line 1) and "Eyes piercing blue, penetrating those who make contact with them" (line 5) are awesome examples of imagery. You definitely have a way with letting your mind take you to a place where you are free to express and compose such a wonderful poem. What a great job well done! :)
