Beauty
by E Yeh Shure
Beauty is seen
In the sunlight,
The trees, the birds,
Corn growing and people working
Or dancing for their harvest.
Beauty is heard
In the night,
Wind sighing, rain falling,
Or a singer chanting
Anything in earnest.
Beauty is in yourself.
Good deeds, happy thoughts
That repeat themselves
In your dreams,
In your work,
And even in your rest.

Response #1
The poem “Beauty” written by E Yeh Shure
was a insightful poem that expresses the true
meaning of beauty. In the poem he says “Beauty is
seen in the sunlight.” He also says similar things
about many of the different aspects in nature. I
think his message is that diamond rings and other
man made materials don’t compare to the natural
beauties that are constantly there. I not only
believe but I know that many people are to blind to
see the Earth’s glory. Most can realize it though and
that in itself is a large accomplishment for all.

E Yeh Shure is trying to tell me and convince me
that beauty is everywhere and that everyone,
everywhere has beauty.
In “Beauty” it says things like “Beauty is seen”,
“beauty is heard”, and “Beauty is in yourself” and those
words are saying that beauty is in everyone, and
everywhere. It also talks how you are beautiful in your
dreams, when you work, and even when you rest. When
it says “beauty is seen”, it says how beauty is seen
everywhere, like in the sunlight, the trees, the birds, and
when corn is growing.
I feel happy with this poem and confident. I feel
this way because its convincing that everyone’s beautiful.

“Beauty” by E Yeh Shure says that beauty can be
anywhere and everywhere.
Beauty can be seen, heard, and felt because you
see beauty in “the sunlight, the trees, the birds, corn
growing and people working or dancing for their harvest.”
You hear beauty “In the night, wind sighing, raining
falling, or a singer chanting anything in earnest.” You feel
beauty “In yourself, good deeds, happy thoughts that
repeat themselves. In your dreams, in your work, and
even in your rest.” The author tells me that bveauty is
wonderful in many ways.
This poem tells all who read it that beauty is all
around us.

The author E Yeh Shure is trying to say in her
poem that Beauty is everywhere, it’s in the sunlight,
in the dark, in your dreams, in your work, and even
in your rest so that gives the reader a point that
beauty is everywhere.
This poem means that beauty is everywhere
you look but it’s mostly on the inside and outside of
you. I feel that this poem is very straight forward.
It goes right to the point and it’s trying to say that
beauty is everywhere.
In the poem Beauty the author stated that
beauty is seen, beauty is heard, and beauty is in
yourself. That says beauty is everywhere.

I think the author is trying to tell you beauty is
everywhere if you do good deeds and if you like the
world that you live in.
I believe that is his point because he says in
his poem “beauty is in yourself good deeds happy
thoughts that repeat themself.” he also says in his
poem “Beauty is seen in the sun” and he also said “
Beauty is seen at night.”
So that is why I think the author is trying to
tell you if you do good deeds you will see beauty
everywhere.

E Yeh Shure and his poem “Beauty” are trying to tell
you that beauty is everything in life. Beauty can be heard and
seen everywhere you go and can be anything you do.
In “Beauty”, E Yeh Shure uses metaphors t show what
beauty is. He says “Beauty is seen in sunlight, the trees.” He’s
saying that beauty can be everywhere you look. E Yeh Shure
repeats the line “Beauty is…” and in that line, he tells you
what and where beauty is from “Corn growing and people
working” to “wind sighing, rain falling.”
“Beauty” by E Yeh Shure makes me feel happy and
confident because he says “Beauty is in yourself” and that
beauty is within you. The poem says that beauty is
everywhere and everything in life.

The message of the poem, Beauty is that
beauty is everywhere in different forms. Some
examples that the author E Yeh Shure gives are
the sunlight, people working, rain falling, and
good deeds. The poem also states that beauty
can be seen, heard, and is in yourself. I think
that reading this poem creates images, sounds,
and memories in the reader’s mind. The author
wants the readers to feel about beauty is that
there is beauty in all things and that people
should appreciate it.

nature is beautiful and so are all of the animals

the poem that is beautiful called beauty.

Beauty is all around us. In the poem Beauty it
gives us many examples. In this poem she thinks
everything is beautiful. The author in this story is
saying that beauty is always around us even in our
rest. She says in the poem “ And even in our rest.”
I think its always beautiful when its raining. Also I
don’t think it is beautiful when it’s hailing. In this
poem she is using figurative language to make it
sound beautiful. So you can see it can bee very
beautiful out but, it is not always beautiful out.
Some times it’s the opposite of beautiful.
