To beautiful is to pretty
The hideous and horrible
And to graceful the ugly.

Beautifuled is so prettied
Like a messy hair curled,
Cut, pinned, and sprayed.

Beautifuling is gracefuling
The homely and ordinary,
The grotesque and gross.

I’m not at all sure that I grasp the reason behind some of your unidiomatic usages here.

I've been reading this collection of American postmodern poems. It was my poor attempt at translating a language that would result to a distortion of another. If I'll translate that to my language it will make sense.
