cold, coiled artistry,

       ornately hued predator,

              boa constrictor....

praying seems it is,
       preying on moths without a miss,
                quick, lethal mantis!

golden
orb of moon
on one knee

silver
of the platter
ornately etched

copper
ocean of vigor
optimistic outlook

precious
ornamental jewels
opulent heredity

blue
ostentatious diamond
of on and on and on hope

imperfection’s
oakiness imparts favor
originality of kin

Fecund sewer ingeniously knitted 
An ornately crocheted potholder was made
 
Bragged her complete oeuvre at first 
But its worthless in everybody’s sight 

It may be futile or trifling
What can it flaunt is nothing

The Cuisiner's hands are sheathed
From  scorching cauldron was protected

No acclaim, no reward travail
From first light to nightfall with ill 

Hard work makes it smeared and  filthy
At old age, it will be banished away...

Flashing and flickering lights on a large Ferris wheel
Ornately painted horses on an old circus carousel

Brightly colored balloons set free
Branches gracefully swaying on a willow tree

Children happily playing at a park 
Glowing yellow dots from the fireflies in the dark

Kisses from a fuzzy puppy on my face
Shooting stars flying through space

The amazement of wonder shall always dwell within me
The world offers me such fascination in everything I hear, feel, and see...
