American Beauty

American Beauty

Her silky smooth waving body glides effortlessly in the wind.

With vigor and splendor, she draws the eye in.

Though silent, her voice can be heard for miles from the eldest adult to the smallest child.

She’s worth far more than fine diamonds, silver or gold.

Her worth is far more than you’ll ever know.

She’s highly respected and greatly protected. She's far more beautiful then we ever expected.

She dresses so elegantly in her bright red white and blues.

She dances so gracefully with hardiness and valour, purity and innocence, vigilance, perseverance and justice.

A true American beauty among us

This poem really grabbed my attention from the beginning. I like your use of a metaphor ( or is it a simile? ). I can safely assume that this poem is about the American flag. Once again, a nice rhythm and flow makes it more enjoyable to read. Good job!

I'm a story teller at heart but I like my poems at times to suck the audience in before they realize whats happened. If you liked this one you'll enjoy, "Tall Dark And Beautiful" and " Made For Each Other". Thanks for taking the to give a review.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
