Oh it was beautiful …….. from a distance
How it glistened and shimmered in the sunlight
like a diamond cast down from heaven ….. I thought
Or maybe the eye of an angel
or Galadriel's mirror
or a pool of water, reflecting the day's gentle glow
So splendid it was
I had to know …..
But it was just a piece of old jagged glass
part of a broken bottle, cast aside
by a drunken fool
And I …….. deluded!
Like it, it's amazing what you think you can see when it refects with the sun. A great poem.
I love every bit of it....you have now pushed my observation further and further! Thanks Valerie. A big 10.
very interesting masculine to feminine the perception, a poetic perception, combination of eyes and mind wow thank you very much to have the poem fact is at the end
So original and thought provoking, how an old jagged piece of glass, from an old broken bottle with the suns rays illuminating it into a treasure!
nicely penned. I like different styles of poetry. it helps keep the work fresh and appealing.

Different indeed Val. Reminds me of D.H.Lawrence's style in some ways. Nice poem.
Very nicely penned. Only a poetic heart can appreciate so many things over a piece of glass.
