hair in a perfect bun
dainty steps on tiippy toes
rhinestone ballerina
bringing magic to the stage
inspiring little dancers...

Silk, fine lustrous fabric 
a rapturous vow path 
Elegant romantic wedding
gowns; woven tulle waltz pose
rhinestone whirled in eddies
do the wed till eternity

fresh rhinestone snowflakes
Grandma’s hanky
furry Christmas muff
Star of Bethlehem
Scalloped lace pinafore
Daddy’s ironed collar
clean glistening memories
the whites of Christmas...

black spiked high heels
updo sparkly rhinestone comb
approving glances

in a party mood
flirty red cocktail dress
hard to look away

too much alcohol
unusually frisky
mistakes are now made...

sheer extravagance
evening of rhinestone starlight
moonlight majesty

toot of a hoot owl
a nervous deer cough 
forest ambiance 

tranquil campfire
my buddy is mesmerized
watching the colors...

Juvenile bride to be is nervous 
Nervous in her bridal shower
White ivory wedding gown
Pearl and rhinestone threaded
In crown tiara
Waiting the day
To wed with
Her dear
Prince

                          leafless elm
 
                dresses in shimmering frost

delight in the giggle of a star girl apparition
black holes dance in constellation's face
madness personified brings mysticism to life
I stare at rhinestone sparkles in awe
wondering when night fairies will appear...

Just
a bit 
too formal,
pearl taffeta 
or buttered chiffon;
I’m more into cotton,
something to belly laugh in;
Toes in the sea or a theme park;
Stained all over with a good time,
living in a tank top with rhinestone fringe....

She came prancing in wearing a lovely houndstooth suit.
And a silky lavender shirt, and a neck tie lariat to boot.
Her oversized rhinestone shades made her ex yell out “shoot!”
He still had enormous loving feelings for this feminine galoot....

As beguiling costumes dazzle eyes  
flashing glitter heightens indulgences.
Jasmine kisses lightheadedly make 
nerves of passion quiver.
Rhinestone stars twinkle
usurping Venus
with xanthic 
yellow zircons.

Sheba McFee had an exotic name and elaborate hair.
She had high-handed ways, a marvelous stance, and a dead-killer-stare.
Ebony dress and rhinestone eyelashes would have looked silly on me.
They looked marvelous on this exotic creature, Sheba McFee....

Lovely Jen a poetic romantic
A mask she hated with the pandemic
Rhinestone, pearls, a smiley face
She decorated the lace
Her boyfriend though she was kind of manic.

petite rhinestone buttons from the forties
buttoning up the back of a size zero blouse
it appears to be chiffon, sheer, classy, chic
Old Hollywood glamour, but who can wear it?
No one in this family; I want those buttons
But dare I deface this gorgeous garment?...

rhinestone magic, I thought they were diamonds
glitzy, shiny, beautiful, I fell in love with this flowered broach
always wanted to wear her, begging grandma to let me try her on
when I turned eighteen she was mine; grandma had willed her to me.
rhinestone magic, I thought they were diamonds...

The sky scatters pixie dust~
across orchards of dragonflies;
while in sunflowers, the stars do trust,
tracing tales through kohl-lit eyes. 
A fairy cloaked in soft florals~
fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust.
But within veins of golden corals,
she weaves hope with saffron crust.  ...

Dusk moves over for twilight, rhinestones in the sky make ominous shadows
Voices around the campfire get softer, some people are silenced.  Laughter has 
slowed.  Reverence for the night permeates the evening air.

			twilight reverence
		       softer campfire voices 
                      rhinestone stars twinkle...

We put our limbs and twigs high into the evening air
Stretching ourselves as far as our roots would allow
Giving our mystical sky goddess an opportunity to land safely
She smiled at us with her rhinestone twinkle stars
Gave us a thumbs up in form of a streak of a comet
Called us her night soldiers; it was a heavenly tribute....

Coal tar zombie mouth leaks town gas syrup 
Meat hook telegraphy indicator cameras hypnagogic 
Liverwurst elegy beneath the frosting 
Cinderblock reverie churns with mildew

Manus? Grilled cheese sandwich.

Cantonal enchantress, covered blossoms. 
Necropolis euthanized, springtime salad.
Rhinestone rookery smothers loquat...

Is Miranda standing under a meteor shower
Or was she the wizard who caused it?
I have seen her spell book and heard her drumming
She has enchanted more than one elemental

I watch as rhinestone droplets drizzle from the sky
Miranda stands confidently, expecting more
I am too enthralled to move or to breathe
Wondering what she will cause next...

The "Rhymers" guild; archaic faction,
We garner all the more detraction
Less, are we, in our attraction
More, we are, the poetic infraction

When free is verse, a form accursed-
Murders Art, fetch forth a hearse
For they coerced the Poems reverse,
And left our lines inverse- perverse!

*Title is a play off "It's Hard to be a Diamond in a Rhinestone World"...

the rising sun leans
on shoulders of mountaintops
beside a curved lake---
  roulette of bluebirds ascend
    burning tan from rhinestone light

in  late afternoon
trees shade dizzy,dizzy leaves
coiled from heated glint---
  petals gaily romp to play
    with rings of sunshine’s last twirls
