1. BEAUTIFUL INSIDE POEM : BEAUTIFUL INSIDE POET : PAUL HOLMES THEME : APPEARANCES ARE DECEPTIVE The poet says that appearances can be deceptive. A thing may look dull and grey. It may be as plain as a geode. But we find beautiful crystals in an ugly geode. We can’t judge a person by his appearances. They have a deep desire to help others. They have beautiful hearts. The beautiful inside is hidden in a person though he looks plain and humble. P.Kamatchi Teacher of English Krishnarayapuram Karur
