"Individuality"
By: Keturah V. Richards
Do you see my beauty?
Look deeper than my skin
listen to my heartbeat
Deeper still within
Do you hear my beauty?
Listen closely to my voice
My words of love brings healing
Let me be your choice
Do you feel my beauty?
Be still and rest a while
Please let go of all your fears
Feel the innocence of a child
Do you taste my beauty?
Taste me with more that just your mouth
Use all of you senses
To savor what I'm about
Do you smell my beauty?
The fragrance after rain
fresh and clean; untainted
always free of pain
Look deeper than my skin
listen to my heartbeat
Deeper still within
Do you hear my beauty?
Listen closely to my voice
My words of love brings healing
Let me be your choice
Do you feel my beauty?
Be still and rest a while
Please let go of all your fears
Feel the innocence of a child
Do you taste my beauty?
Taste me with more that just your mouth
Use all of you senses
To savor what I'm about
Do you smell my beauty?
The fragrance after rain
fresh and clean; untainted
always free of pain
Analysis
I think the poem, "Individuality" by Keturah V. Richards is about beauty being more than just the outside. Beauty goes in within. In line 1 & 2 "Do you see my beauty?" "Look deeper than my skin", is symbolizing how you can't only see beauty. Throughout the poem Keturah V. Richards describes how you can also hear, smell, touch and taste beauty
