Hey everyone,
I was hoping I could get some suggestions on things you find to be beautiful. Such as a sunset or sunrise. Anything like that! Thanks to all who contribute. Thank you so much!

Is this a homework assignment question?
There is beauty in all things. It's the poet's job to notice and draw others' attention to it. Beauty is mystery and difference, and no two people will perceive it in the same way.
Cliches aren't beautiful. I'd rather read about snorting cocaine off a fat hooker's arse than have to wade through another poem about how pretty the sky is.
It could be worse

What if you compare the clouds in the sky to a line of cocaine?

If it's reading, yeah, the cocaine snorting is way more appealing. If it's visual, I'll take the sky any day.
Back!

what's beautiful are variations on a theme, we all see things differently
i'd rather be snorting than reading about it

but yeah, i sooner the poem felt real to life.

pussies (grosso modo and both kinds of)
humor.
Also one french movie, in which is discussed the somewhat odd phenomenon that there exist beautiful women (grosso modo) with not so beautiful pussies and vice versa (worth of considering).
And: guiness (also: alec)
and cheers (both kinds of)

I find the smell of a pasture beautiful; the rows of markers in the cemetery; the way the sun glints off a chrome .45; women with long hair that wake up in the morning frizzy and sit on the edge of the bed brushing, angry with themselves because they fell asleep without putting their hair up.
My niece is beautiful when she giggles at my jokes when we both know they aren't funny; my neighbors dog is beautiful when he protects my property too.
Life is beautiful-- or it is ugly-- people forget that the same thing can be both.
