Tiniest Glimmers
The first signs of spring—
the lily of the valley
bordering the garden.
The faint sounds of baby birds:
tiniest glimmers
of the beauty that surrounds us
daily.
The green foliage,
a tapestry of wonders.
Feel the soft mound beneath your feet.
A butterfly—
a sign of life—
flutters away.
In the distance, the sound of a baby’s cries—
a miracle
surrounded with hope.
The clouds, so light and fluffy,
a different

Golden Glimmers of the Sun
*Playing around with Alliteration
The sun softly shimmers with gold glimmers
Sanguine sunsets dance marvelous minuets
Before falling abed, he briefly bled
for having to close his eyes
beneath stunning skies when daylight dies
Revived, reborn each misty morn
With radiant rays, he deftly displays
his fading luminous light in flourishing flight

Glimmers at Dusk's Edge
Written: March 1st, 2025, For Brian Strand Contest
*******************
In the heart of
a howling waterfront,
where waves weave whispers
to the waning night,
I wander through the wilderness,
seeking sequins of solace.
At the water edge,
moonlight swirls as a monsoon,

In a city of shadows and glimmers, where glass towers rise like dreams
In a city of shadows and glimmers, where glass towers rise like dreams
in a starless night, we search for the contours of our own destinies,
shrouded in the fine mist of mornings too hasty to greet us,
we lose ourselves in the labyrinth of streets where every corner hides an untold story,
a long-forgotten memory, lost in the

Magic Bottle Glimmers
One day mom gave me a bottle sparkling,
bright fairy pixie lights swirled around me;
all about my room sparkles encircling,
the twinkles from the bottle were set free !
Mom, what a wonderful glimmering light,
a golden glowing magical dazzle;
lights are floating up and down, left and right,
oh, enchanted and in a bedazzle !
All about my room light

See the glimmers Feel the glimmers
Glimmers... Hold on to the little moments of magic and miracles in the world.
See the glimmers
(Feel the glimmers)
By Michelle Morris

See the glimmers
Feel the hope
See the rainbows
Embrace the unknown
For in each moment
There's a chance
To catch a star
Sneak a glance
See the angels
Feel their wings
See their halos
Embrace their peace
Feel the glimmers
Ignite your soul
The angel's blessings
Make you feel

Glimmers of Love
How long will I love you, often you ask
Forever and a day, my love will last
Till there’s no blossom or leaves upon trees
Or pretty daffodils dancing o’er breeze.
Till clouds cease to form patterns in the sky
All seas and rivers begin running dry
Till all poets have no poetic prose
Or night has no beginning, day no close.
Till

In a world where everything glimmers in a play of lights
In a world where everything glimmers in a play of lights,
The girl with diamond eyes steps forth like a shooting star into the night.
With every gesture she makes, she leaves sparkling trails on the city streets,
A goddess of time, with diamond hair that whispers forgotten tales.
Beneath her brocade cloak, with hues of emerald and azure,
Lies

Glimmers In the Abyss
In the ocean’s vast and boundless deep, where light begins to cease,
A world of silent shadows casts a spell of tranquil peace.
Abyssal creatures, luminous with bioluminescent glows,
Paint streaks of light amidst the dark, where the deep ocean flows.
Jellyfish, like floating lanterns, illuminate the sable sea,
Drifting through the eternal night, in a ghostly, drifting spree.
Anglerfish, with

The Treetop Glimmers Outside My Window
The treetop glimmers outside my window
As light, dancing upon the leaflets -
Shimmies about in affable yellow.
My gaze can't help but be captivated
By light, pure and perfectly aglow.
In the wind, swaying charismatically -
Every leaf is twirled as a ballerina -
Playing with my fragile jealousy.
I

Rural Glimmers
In the country we do not have city vison,
we have a phosphorus luster,
we have snails and worms
that turn over a silvered mulch.
The slow burn of a late dusk
kindles sun-setting shadows –
the sheen of beetle clipper-claws.
A chitinous moonlight flickers
upon crystalline windowpanes.
Then there is the glint of gravel in starry waters,
unearthed shimmer paths and a leafy luminosity

Rural Glimmers
In the country, we do not have city shine,
we have luster,
we have the glimmer of voles,
the fumes of turbid crawlers
under the slow burn of iridescent woods.
We who night-watch
see from sunken waters,
gather light from luminous cisterns.
We understand black;
how it sheens the clapper claw.
On the pitch of the concealed
a country ken leads us to a

Glimmers In the Wind
As I am looking skyward on this night,
by Mother Nature’s beauty I am blessed,
as all the twinkling stars are shining bright,
but one white jewel stands out from all the rest,
with her bright beauty I am so obsessed.
Like Venus, summer’s brilliant
