Broken Beauty

struck asunder by the blow
broken pieces into one
glisten, sparkle gold will flow
beauty's what it has become

Short, but defines the concept well in physical terms, although it doesn't touch on the concept as an extended metaphor. Still, I thought it deserved a placement due to the fine imagery. Glad to see you got some help with it. Congratulations on the placement.

Nice write, but it needs some correction in the first line: The word "sunder" is normally a verb in the English language, but you are improperly treating it as if it were a noun. For correction, replace "to sunder" with "asunder" (an adverb).
