Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Where is Beauty

  
	        Some see beauty in machines on wheels
                    souped-up sports cars, the ‘real deal’

                Others find it deep in forest’s quietude
                     pouring forth their gratitude

                Some envision a world of nations at peace
                     wars to cease, love increase

                 Some find it in flawless skin and flowing hair
                     saints tap into souls, profundity to share

David Scott August 27, 2026 at 8:38 PM I think beauty is in everything Perhaps how it it is seen through eye of beholder.. Gershon Wolf August 29, 2026 at 7:59 PM That's certainly a tried-and-true definition, David. Thanks for the visit! ~ Gershon

CayCay Godwin August 27, 2026 at 6:23 PM I'd like a takeout order of the second and third items on the beauty list to feed my concurrence. Shallow, somber, serious and sad mixed in well-written poetic lines. Gershon Wolf August 29, 2026 at 8:01 PM Let's see: Shallow - check; somber - check; serious - check; sad - check; The 'poetic lines' have been written by a poet of the same description. ~ SSSS, gw
