Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder
Write a poem or prose about something beautiful that's underappreciated.
What is beauty?
The complexity of something boggles the mind.
Attractiveness that drags the eye towards it.
Boredom never felt when it is seen.
Happiness overriding all other emotions.
A pattern that pleases the analytical brain.
A mess that satisfies the inner child's mind.
To say that one thing is beautiful, and yet another is not, makes no sense;
As everything satisfies at least one of these criteria.
The wall, a pear, the top of a computer case.
A single flower, a petal, a mountain, some snow.
The microscopic picture of dirt and the mind-boggling life that lives everywhere.
Even blood, an insect, a large spider climbing up the bathroom wall.
Everything is beautiful, from a certain perspective.
