Tuesday Poem – Beauty Ugly Beauty by Terry Moyle
I have been very busy of late with my MA thesis, as well as writing PhD proposals for various scholarships. However, Terry Moyle kindly donated this visual poem to share amongst Tuesday Poem enthusiasts.
Terry is a vector artist and experimental poet. His debut book, Cominghomeland (Auckland: Ducks on the Wall Publishing), was published in 2011. He has an MA Hons (Engl) from the University of Waikato. He resides in Kaiwaka, Northland. Visit his website here.

Very visual – going to check out his site now. Thanks for introducing this/him.
I really really like this Orchid, thank you. Thought provoking huh? The way ‘beauty’ struts and frets and changes shape and calls attention to itself and ‘ugly’ is rather plain without much variation and insists on itself without the strutting and fretting. Fabulous.
Just thinking, Orchid, this would be amazing on the hub – you’re editing next week, how about it? We haven’t had anything quite like it.
Was thinking the same thing!
This is wonderful. Thanks from me too for introducing him/Rem.
