Prism - POTW

Word Prism Poem 1-26-26
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prisms

Solid clear crystals
carved with facets ~
geometric fantasy.

Splashes rainbows on walls
sings with color ~
humming bands of hues.

No eyes nor ear nor nose,
clothes waterfalls, full moons and coronas ~
makes sunbows without rainstorms.

Delight sighs at smorgasbord of colors,
gasping at beauty's pure miracle ~
gemstone prisms make awe sparkle.

They are ' solid clear crystals, ' yet, share a ' smorgasbord of colors. ' I find that fascinating in so many ways. It's a breathtaking moment to behold, indeed. Your thoughts take me there, Sam. This is beautiful in every way. Congratulations on Poem of the Week. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. : ) Hugs, Brandy
