(#Chaucerian stanza)
Expelled from heaven
For the sin of pride
Beauty, her only weapon
She searches with nowhere to hide
So with mankind she must abide
Infesting man with her sin
Blending in- as though kin

I like the idea of what has been expelled from heaven blending in to find somewhere to hide among us.

For most of us, beauty is not much a part of our body type, but it does thrive inside perhaps, where it is no sin of pride.

I feel sorry for the fallen angel – couldn’t she be given another chance?
