In the prism
I see
refracting light
an ephiphany
of captured color
I am at once
imbued with hope
the lilting rays
glistening melody
a plethora of sparkles
shimmering shadows
embrace the spirit
capture the moment
mark the measure
create murmurous
melting patterns
vibrant, dancing rays
the prism light
an enchanting sight
Shiny!!!
And sparkly too 🙂
Beautiful. Light and spirit. 🙂
Thanks again!
This is a gorgeous photo and equally brilliant words, Lana! 🙂
Thanks Robin. I love prisms and make beaded “boho” light catchers that I place in front of sunny windows.
Wonderful descriptions of those dancing rays, L.T. I love your description, ‘an epiphany of captured colour’.
Thanks Millie. I’m working on descriptive writing. I think I am more of a prose person, ha ha.
Well, L.T., I can say with all honesty that you write both prose and poetry beautifully! I loved the poems I just read, but your stories are excellent, too. Your descriptive writing in both is wonderful. 🙂
Hope the teaching is still going well.It usually gets a bit chaotic in the last week before Christmas over here. So many students are involved in carol services and Christmas plays, the classes are totally depleted. Then there are usually end of unit / module tests to do – and mark! All quite barmy!
Thanks so much Millie. It is definitely hectic right now. To borrow a phrase “it’s rather like herding cats” might describe it, ha ha. I hope you are having an enjoyable holiday season.
We haven’t really started doing Christmassy things, yet. Shops getting packed and the Christmas market are the start of things around here. Many houses have Christmas trees up already, but we don’t put ours up until a week before Christmas. When you’re in school, it all starts early, I know. And that business of ‘herding cats’ is all too familiar! I miss it, but I’m far too old to be teaching now. Time to leave it to the younger staff. Just make sure you wear full body armour for the last week! 🙂
