Shine with a bright smile my dear
Shimmering with warmth of sun
Spark emerging in eyes full of emotions
Small flashes of decorations like glitter.

Don't think they will stop this creative writing spree.
But they are free to keep the sunshine for themselves;
I’d rather continue being best friends with the moon.
Gently rain trickles and drizzles.
It drenches all the whole night through.
Sunrise dazzles in the morning.

Look around It's fairly green
Like a bubble with everything clean
Lying in the middle are a few gallons of water
We call it a lake, or it can be a pond
It is a place that every fish finds fond
As it reflects the sky and everything all over
The sun bestows its rays on the restful world below
Amidst, you see the sparkling on the surface
resembling gold and innocence behind a purpose
The magic of the minutes you can witness
When you watch it keen, no one to accept or impress
As I see it with my soul and feel it whole
I name it 'Yoon-seul' with my heart full
glitter counter tops
Id never seen one before
now I can’t get them out of my mind
The brightest star,in the midnight sky
That glitters silver,twinkles very high
Spreads radiance,does not shy...

Fingers
Long, slender
Tapping, painting, holding
Creating tiny canvases for my niece
Pinking, twinkling, glittering
Tiny, cherished
Nails
Watch as wedding guests arrive
With all the glitz and glitter
Paparazzi crave.
My friends decry the waste of wealth;
Can't they see the children there
Weeping tears of poverty?
on a sizzling august afternoon
the glitter on the water scintillates
tapdancing on a hot griddle
till a cool breeze reaches the shore
and loosely sways the braids
of an old weeping willow
as if to a sweet nostalgic rhythm

The whiff of angel hair untidy
reeks a reft of detritus
with showers of glitter, confetti
raining down torrential,
on poesy of angel breath petals
amongst the roses, daffodils
and daisy chains
written on a page
cheered on by a sage,
succumbed by
the celebrant's rage
to breath excess
on angel's stage.
Glitters caught the eyes
But the one that touch the heart
Gain such attention.
A blessed soul has won a role, The Prince of Peace,
Of noble birth, a novice born a blue-blood,
Pontificate average those brevities,
Stemmed full of thorns wrangled beneath his rosebud.
Won The Papal States, Mona Lisa smiled, lost,
His tenure was mired in doubts--parts that he crossed,
A scorned tag as unfortunate of the popes,
A Florentine, a Medici, useless hopes.
