beauty

[billy]

beauty is whatever you think beauty is is this lead in needed? for me it takes away too much from the 3rd verse.

a woman's breasts
a man's torso
flowers wedged in gray fences nice image.
the sun above a lonely bench and another
a sandwich laced with bacon grease mmmmm

the love of a friend
the corpse of a whore i was pulled up by this but you're right; to each his own
children playing in dark caves
a wine decanter almost full this is my fave line. it feels decadent
the moon the wind the sodden earth

there are perhaps more perceptions
of what beauty is
than there are things
to be considered beautiful

reality doesn't exist after all
as the TV shrinks are fond
of reminding their patients

everything was excellent apart form the nit at the 1st line.
loved the imagery you used jack.

when i got to the last verse, i felt like i was beginning a new poem. the verse was okay on its own but for me it felt out of place. jmo

thanks for the read.
