Beauty Poem by Jixin Gao

Beauty

Rating: 4.4


Beauty's a word
With ambiguity
Conjuring images of vivid shades

But beauty to me
Is fluorescent
Shining
From inside of the transparent,
simple box

Inverting people's glances
Simplicity is its choice
But think INSIDE the box
It full of complicated wires and cables
Revealing a high level of sophistication

Look-
How it lights up everyone's faces
Bright with beauty.

Simplicity is its choice But think INSIDE the box It full of complicated wires and cables Revealing a high level of sophiscation Awesome use of imagination to come up with superb imagery and metaphors, perhaps its amibuity is down to the users mind, some see beauty as a physical object but it can also be emphasised as having more shades, empathy generosity, which I think your getting at. Still fantastic job and great choice for poem of the day

This 5 letter word is so important to the majority of the population, yet in the eye of the beholder. Love the way you have presented your words. Thank You

Well written, the beauty within always outlasts and and outshines the beauty without

If I am right seek beauty from within before seeking it from without. Nice work.
