What is Beauty?

A face
a smile
an embrace

What is Beauty?

Is Beauty a feeling
of reeling
of steeling
of concealing

What is Beauty?

Is Beauty a thought
an opinion
of union
in transformation

Beauty is
our essence
our presence
our fragrance

We are Beauty.

Beauty is what we make of it.

Very nicely put together and the conclusion was so very Ms. E, and that ain't bad.

There is a profound beauty in the word "we", isn't there.  Well said, Ms E.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder,
so they say,
which to me means it is how we perceive.
To me this is not the outer beauty, but the inner.
The soul is what attracts
Which is not altered by wrinkles or aging,
Enjoyed your writing, well done.

You read this so well, Edna. It is even better when you add your voice to it.

I really enjoyed both your poem and the responses it garnered. Beauty is so much more than the commercials would have us think... I like your definitions! *S*
