the wind blows
wrapping around her fingers
like glass spiderwebs
stretched from molten masses

blown like bubbles by a child
but with care not to burn
and to disturb the beauty
and the consistancy of solids

a child with the precision to create
frozen pieces of moments
and labled their own
up for the ownership of admirers

more than worth the sight
a sight worth the process
and a thousand mistakes
owning up to the end

some people create beauty
some see it as tangible
sometimes they think it theirs to say
and some cannot even see it in front of them

Mr Y,

I do believe this is my new favorite of your poems. Wonderful concepts and word pictures scattered within! Perception, and the care one uses in such tells alot about each person, as your poem confronts. Sometimes it tells more than we wish!

This reminds me of the art and beauty of the glassblower. I don't know if that's what you had in mind, but this is the way I see it. Quite beautiful. JP

mr yuk: love this poem---and yes-reminds me of a glassblower also-a beautiful tapestry of words Ell

yes this is about blowing glass.i love glass.i do not blow it but a friend of mine does and its amazing to watch.beautiful.

and yes michelle sometimes these things say more than we want them to.words are funny like that.

Indeed, words are like that,lol. My comment was more to do with what we take the time to notice, our perception of what we encounter in our days, and the beauty too often we fail to see. If we see the beauty all around us, or if we neglect to see such also tells a lot about a person.

Once again, I very much enjoyed your poem.

Sunshine and Laughter,
Michelle

i like it you fruit

You created wonderful imagery. Love this poem. It is complete going from the beginning process right to the finished pieces.

thanks

Great poem! I'm not sure about the line "and labeled their own" ... Seems like it would make more sense without the word "and".

you've had enough praise so I'll not bother. Just want to point out an interesting fact ("and the consistancy of solids") that might help add more enchantment to the piece. Glass is actually a liquid.

i know

What a name, what a writer.
