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

I love this poem! It is amazing, and the title is an excellent choice for this story. Every line of the poem clearly had a lot of effort put into it and the poem itself was extremely clever.

I love this poem, it's beautifully written. You perfectly describe this 'deceiver' and how she cleverly lures her victims, embodying the title, "Beauty is the Beast". Good work, whomever you may be. Keep it up!

This is a REALLY amazing poem. I absolutely love it, the words fit together very well and the poem flows like it should! The title is also just phenomenal, it is simple, and basic, yet it tells you so much about the poem and what it's going to talk about. I'd love to see more of your poems in the future!

I like how the topic of the poem "beauty is a beast" is switched instead of it being about a guy it's about a woman who could also be dangerous.

Wow, just wow. You've got some real talent, and you are so creative! I love the word choice and the twist of Beauty being the real beast. It's a very interesting idea. You should definitely keep writing!!

Ooh...this was quite interesting. Gave me the impression of a succubus-like figure. Quite good!

Your descriptions are fabulous. The parable of all that shimmer is not Gold is one that is easy to overdo or misuse, but not here. The title is fitting to a T. Please give my poetry a quick look, I am always looking for constructive crticism!
