Beauty is...

Beauty is...

A Poem by RIch Hilliard
"

A nice rhymed and metered poem

"
beauty is... 
Beauty is something that lies beneath the surface 
Something that serves a deeper meaning and purpose 
Although sometimes, beauty is what hurts us 
Out of our control, beauty is what flirts us. 

Beauty is something rarely found 
But it is everywhere; you just need to look around 
Beauty is the quality of pitch and sound 
Not of definite shape; straight, squared or round 

Beauty is something derived from pain 
All of the hard work from the monsters being slain 
Beauty is something that falls as freely as rain 
And if even attempted cannot be tamed. 

Beauty is what you make it out to be 
So make sure you make it out to be free 
Even though it shows itself internally 
Beauty will last forever; an eternity. 

Beauty can't be stopped, only hidden 
It lies everywhere; the divine and the forbidden 
Beauty shines brightly in the forgiven 
So do those a favor and forgive them. 

Beauty is what hatred is not 
Even though some may have forgot 
Beauty is lost but never forgotten 
So the forgetful are never fully rotten. 

Beauty is in the shade and the light 
So beauty can be made to light up the night 
Beauty is the stars twinkling so bright 
Beauty is whatever is right.

I think it start out really strong, and ends that way as well, But at some lines your ryhme scheme got a littly messy, but only picky people like me would notice it(;
I really like the message you portrayed here, your writing shares something with all of us. Nice job, keep it up(:

Very strong. I'd say beauty is whatever you think it is. Very nice work! The detail you put in is strong, and it really made me think. Awesome poem! I look forward to reading more of your work!

This is beautiful, no pun intended :]
You're an amazing writer, I don't know many people who can continually rhyme without sounding like an idiot! It seems you have stunningly out done my expectations

I like how you're poems all seem to endeavor to define the intangible. Very well-written and thought-provoking

Your words are true. We need to see the beautiful world around us. I like the description in your poem. A wise man tries to overcome the sadness and celebrate the good times. A outstanding poem. I like a positive poem.

Welcome to Writer's Cafe!

This was absolutely beautiful. The way you detailed beauty in every aspect of the word was extremely powerful, especially considering the fact that beauty is such a complex thing. I loved it so much.

Revising never hurts, I can see a lot more stemming out of this poem.

Wonderful stuff.

Looking forward to more of your work!
