What is beauty?

A combination of qualities that please the senses

Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them. ~David Hume

In 150 words or less, define beauty.

1
Molten red and gold.
Reflecting and expecting.
Sunset and sunrise.

2
The flavours of life.
Salty, bitter, sour and sweet.
Chocolate and red wine.

3
Silky bamboo sheets
Light and sweetly cool to touch.
Whispering softly.

4
Freshly brewed coffee -
The scent of grownups waking.
Breathe it in deeply.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. ~Confucius

5
Shape, colour and form,
In eyes of the beholder.
Skin deep and fleeting.

6
Beneath the surface,
Yet also all around us -
Senses awaken.
