Folks the category is Humor and/or Satire. This is a satiric approach to not all things beautiful are beatiful.
Humor/Satire / The Beauty and The Beast
Beauty and the Beast
As she walked into the crowded restaurant and time slowed to a crawl.
It was as if she walked off the pages of a Vargas drawing,
She was perfect in every detail!
Her hair was the color of golden wheat.
It flowed behind her as if it had been lifted up by an invisible force.
Her smile is as brilliant as a thousand exploding suns.
She walked in the crowded room as if she were a big cat looking for prey.
Every muscle and movement had its own sensual movement.
Her face had an angelica glow about it.
When she looked at me, her eyes were the lightest sky blue and sparkled.
They drank in my soul and drowned me in her love.
I heard her greeted her friends
A voice flowed out of her in the colors of the rainbow,
Turning everything bright and beautiful.
Her voice sounded like angels would when singing to the Lord on High.
Then without warning, she turned and walked directly towards me.
Her graceful strides held me cemented to my chair as she approached.
She stopped, smiled and looked down at me, then said
“Silly boy no one could love a face like yours.”
I died a thousand deaths as the room erupted in laughter.

Hi,
I’m sorry, but this did not read funny to me. I guess the title is supposed to lead you in a certain direction, but it’s not what I would call satire.
I’d watch out for the cliched phrases and descriptions, and it kind of feels old-fashioned.
Good bits,
It would work as poetry, although your choice of vocabulary renders it well more along the line of melancholy poetry and then maybe the humour can sneak in.

I think the piece is quite well written but don’t think that humor is the right category for it.

I’m sorry, but this seemed to be more sad than amusing or funny. You do have talent to describe in a unique way, but this doesn’t appear to anything my sense of humor can appreciate…

I like the fact that the beauty turns into a beast, and that this has the opposite message of the fairy tale. Which, unfortunately, does not make me laugh but, rather, cringe.

One word “ouch”. Man I was really starting to like the girl as you continued with the description but the last few lines just made me hate her. Well done, it is certainly a very detailed piece.

Your writing skills obviously aren’t lacking, but I can honestly say it didn’t effect me.
This was in the ‘Humor’ section, right? Next time, write something funny.
