BrOken Glass

Played with, mishandled, juggled, fumbled then
dropped

Once whole but now broken, this precious glass

Shattered and liberally on the ground it lays

A motley of pieces large, small, and in between
all scattered

No longer smooth and pleasant to the hands and eyes

Broken, 

Broken is this glass.

Many jagged edges are now dangerous to
the touch 

Broken and distorted is this glass
