Tiffany Lamp

The design sketched --
shards of words and phrases 
lie in their trays  
sorted by colour 
and shape
to be fashioned into a new poem --
to dazzle and illuminate.

So cool! Love the pic too with the dress that looks like the Tiffany lamp. My mom made a beautiful lampshade! Great poem! Thank you, Suzette, for all your wonderful information. So much to learn and take in! Hugs :)

I grew up admiring these lamps but could never afford the real thing. Thanks for reading and commenting, Kim. :)

The poetry jigsaw is probably the most absorbing like this one going from pieces to a Tiffany lamp and more ... lovely write :)

Neat poem Sus! When I saw the title I just had to read it because I have a what’s thought to be a Tiffany lamp. I like how you compared the pieces of glass to words and phrases for a new poem! Very creative!
