Notes About The Poem

Refrain On the Sixth - a Tiny Crystal Ball

Before you lies a tiny crystal ball.
Pick it up; feel it smooth and hard along your palm.
Can it speak to you? Stare into its icy depth.
Perhaps if you gaze long enough, you will see your future
cascading like a beautiful waterfall of dreams . . . or
a tiny crystal ball perhaps is all  you’ll ever see.

Based on picture #3

Daver Austin June 7, 2016 at 11:46 AM If I had a tiny crystal ball I'd try to see the future. Wonderful food for fantasy. Love, daver

Judy Ball June 7, 2016 at 5:44 AM Nicely done Andrea. I love looking closely at pretty things. Seeing all I can in their beauty. You never know what you may find. Great job. God Bless, JB

Kai Michael Neumann June 7, 2016 at 1:30 AM You see everything. I like, what I believe to be the metaphor of the crystal ball, on more than one counts. And sometimes we loose our marbles in order to find them. This poem is very well done and to my taste.

Richard Lamoureux June 7, 2016 at 12:41 AM As a kid I loved collecting crystal marbles, this poem brought that to mind.

Manny Paras June 6, 2016 at 2:33 PM A seer at her best! Fascinating charade and I took the same visual, not as fine as this!

Matthew Anish June 6, 2016 at 1:53 PM Did you read "The Lord of the Rings"? I am reminded of the waters of Galaldriel by you poem. I once went to a fortune teller in the Village. I lived there, too for a few years. Who can know the future? Good luck in the contest. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

Dineen Williams Gault June 6, 2016 at 11:44 AM Was thinking of entering contest using this image, but maybe not. :) Love your take on it...a crystal ball...conjures up such wonder. Good luck in the contest!

Tim Smith June 6, 2016 at 11:22 AM I would have never pictured what I am doing now if I looked in the crystal ball some thirty years ago.

Frederic Parker June 6, 2016 at 10:28 AM A wish for fantasy a last line of reality..good luck
