Nice
There are a couple things you could do to improve, but it was a nice premice. One of the things that struck me is that all of your lines seem disjointed and unrelated, like a list instead of one singular piece about beauty. Also, lines one and twelve both end in "just because". Maybe in line twelve you can say "Beauty is laughing at the little things", since it stays true to the meaning, but doesn't repeat a prior line. I think you could fix the effect of this piece by changing the positions of the lines, having the very occasion specific lines at the beginning, going broader and broader, until you have the final line, "Beauty is love", which is itself, a very cliche thought, but only cliche because it's true. x] Thanks for entering in my contest. <3
