What Makes A Woman Beautiful?

What Makes A Woman Beautiful?

A Poem by David Burke
"

My description of beauty.

"
What makes a woman beautiful?

Is it the hours she takes up, putting on her makeup; so that when she's done she has a

pretty new face painted over the old one?

Or is it the magazines that are written by people who destroy her confidence,

And make eating illegal?

No, it's something that I realized as I started to get older.

Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder.

Now think about what I said, beauty is in her eyes; because they're the window to soul,

where the true person lies.

You can share in her happiness, or comfort her pain; but no matter what her story is,

there's always something to be gained.

It's like buying a smartphone, and learning all it can do; because you can be with her for

years, and still learn something new.

So can we see beauty?; well, we already did.

It was the second she started smiling, because that's what true beauty is.

I think you have a good idea here, but the imagery is all very simplistic and cliched. You use common expressions as your "points" instead of actually conjuring new images or new ideas. I think if you found a new "hook" to bring us in, you could write a pretty good poem on this subject. Granted, it's hard to be original in this area because pretty much everyone who has ever created art has written or painted something about a woman and her true beauty. Best of luck to you, keep at it!
