Short All That Glitters Is Not Gold Poems

The greatest story ever told
Begins with men daring and bold
Put to the test
They tried their best
But all that glitters is not gold...

glib talkers weave enticing, eloquent words-- empty their meaning.

though glittering more
All that glitters is not gold
but imitation

imitation gold
wife imitates husband mood
imitation love!

midst teeth it is told

  all that glitters is not gold --
 
     my crowns break the mould

     All that glitters is not gold,
     Friendships are my nuggets,
     As I grow old.

     Some are shiny and new,
     Some require rubbing to remove the tarnish,
     Some come out when no one is about.

     All have value,
     In my mind.
     Each have traits I find sublime.

     Every one of my friends,
     Has a diamond shine!

Unnoticed my being grows

Amidst a crowd of crows

Your eyes see me not

That's the greatest blot

Let me remind you of my faithfulness

My journey from being to nothingness

The fault is not yours

Wisdom is not in weak souls 

In your company lots of fools appear

It is high time for me to disappear

All that glitters is not gold

Unfortunately about this you were not told...

They thought he was a harmless fool.
His hair dyed black
And eyebrows pencilled in,
The silver outfits -
Shoulders huge -
And platform shoes.

His lyrics less than lyrical,
Chanted, shouted
At his concerts;
His hits always played at parties.

A has-bean humoured,
Perhaps patronised,
His antics tolerated.

But Gary Glitter had a dark secret…

I-mage is just misleading, 
S-ome things appear so nice; 
A-ll that glitters is not gold, 
B-eauty deceives our eyes.
E-verything that glitters is not gold, things might look worthwhile; 
L-ater we shall find ourselves dismayed without a smile.

D-ay six October morn
I-n our view is a calm river; 
A-nother zone of serenity
S-ilences those talking louder.
A-llow not eyes to judge a thing, 
N-either new one nor old; 
T-ry to sense the inner part, 
A-ll that glitters is not gold....
