Best Ugliness Poems

Lip stained ugliness
On my detrimental brow
Transcends the insignificance
Of union unbound
By tides indefinable
Even her skeleton is beautiful...

But I can't help the ugliness I pour
And the mirrors I break and the veil I keep
Why is beauty something but ugly something more?
And good people are cursed and beautiful princesses sleep

And the mirrors I break and the veil I keep
There are masks I wear...

My parents taught me the Christian ways.
I was taught to obey what the Bible says.

I was proud of my parents!  I really was!
And loved them so much…  Just because!

They meant everything to me!  I was proud!
Until one day...  There appeared “a...

UGLINESS

  There is an ugliness out there
an ugliness that screams 
an ugliness that rages
an ugliness that whispers

  It's whispers say everything is all right
everything will resolve
everything will be dreams, heaven
when you vote for me

  It was always this way, right?
To lead was...

The night sky lightning sends a psychedelic shockwave
the wrath of the thunderstorms wake up the grave
the river cry of music sounds
but not loud enough to hear a spirit drown
the roses and their petals fall  one by one to say goodbye
only thing left is the...

Your words the sweetest
Your face the loveliest
How you dress, the cleanest
How you walk, the smartest

Mesmerized, starstruck I was
Unmoved, glued feet I was
My eyes followed you
Taking note every cue

Your laughter echoed in clutter
Your voice makes you hotter
Fonder, wonder and yonder
I am to you thereafter

I wish it's...

Dedicated to Nette Onclaud, a great poet who alas stopped posting on Poetry Soup on 4 November 2020. A dear friend whom I truly miss.


She really did it, bought a kitschy,
a repulsive ornate vase,
Thank God, the cat broke it....

Backlit by the moon she stands,
Proud to anyone watching
While "I’m too fat,” flawed thoughts
Silently stalk her

Ugliness lingers
when beauty is gone
much further divided
than dusk is from dawn

I reference not
the figure or face
but rather the heart
of our lost human race

We fancy ourselves
as noble and great
yet treat one another
with hearts full of hate

And day after day
with greater aggression
we bind ourselves up
in cords of...

We believe in good things easily
But hard to confide in bad ones,
(Beauty tells us the jovial story
But often it throws the dark rays
Into our smiling face.)

We know if the flowers
Bloom, they must give sweet fragrance
To the air, but we often forget
Some are odorless. Some flowers...

Under the skin, it lurks -
Ungodly, ungrateful,
Unjust, and raring to
Unleash viciousness with
Unconscionable acts.
Utterly devoid of 
Understanding, it reeks!

UGLINESS OF A SHRIVELED ROSE

To youth this dried up flower represents ugliness,
but that seasoned rose is a prime memory.
It had its regality of soft petals,
his pure sensual pleasure - whole face breathed the bouquet -
the amorous scent, felt the allure, the softness of breast and...

it has been written
in one of the books of nikki…
if you look into a mirror
you’ll see a beautiful creature
looking back at you…


it is assumed
that in the reality
of nature there are both
beauty and ugliness
and that both
are at the interpretation
of the eyes of the beholder…
behold—beneath the epidemic
shadowing—the...

You are so beautiful like Helen of Troy
So brainy, special, and unique
Nobody can compete you
Her smiling reflection answered from the mirror
She was lost in her own eyes
Bang!! From no where a stone strike the mirror 
Shattering it into many pieces 
She cried___ who is there?...
