Tonight's Poet Corner: Beautiful Christina
Beautiful Christina by Belinda Roddie Beautiful Christina had a natural look that took all the boys by surprise. She beamed and she glowed, but nobody would know that she just wasn't interested in guys. She kept all her pretty little secrets in a book and wrote truths while she lived all the lies. She was always captivated by the worlds she created in each beautiful young woman's eyes. The ladies she adored had hair yellow as corn and sweet smiles just as bright as the moon. They drank whiskey in steins, and they danced all in lines, and they made all the gentlemen swoon. And Beautiful Christina was left so forlorn as her suitors all failed to attract her. She kept feelings within her so she wasn't a sinner, while the buzzards called lovers attacked her.
