The Crystal Perfume Bottle

For the Helena's Blue Rose Cafe Group special contest. Check out the group and try it yourself.

Sunlight filtered through the perfume bottle,

creating a splendid rainbow presence.

 

Sadness retreated to a dark oblivion,

leaving a purer serenity through the glass.

 

Gifts from the sky are serene for a heart broken in two pieces,

discovering merciful peace.

Yes. You are quite gifted a writer, are you not.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

beautiful.........escpecial the last lines........glorious.

I love it when a writer can take a mundane subject or an everyday object, and make poetry out of it. The perfume bottle you pen about came to life for me. I felt that if I opened it up I'd find some fairy tale world within it. And oh yes..it smells good too. :P

This is so well done! I loved the vision of a rainbow through the perfume bottle, as light through a prism sends rainbows dancing around the room. It can indeed, lighten the heart.

[TKBickel]

Thank you for your nice review.

[Ken Simm.]

Crystal, faceted and gorgeous.

[Helen Crutchett]

I am so amazed at the individual takes on this contest. With the limited words given every poet has put their own beautiful interpretation on paper so wonderfully. And yours is not exception! Well done poetess! Thank you for submitting this to Tovli's Ten!

This is beautiful. Simply beautiful. No dancing. No twaddle. Beautifully done.
Yeah.
I Know. You're waiting for the gag.
There isn't one.
It is beautiful. Got the idea?

[TKBickel]

Sir, you are way to kind.

[EMF]

No I'm bloody not. Take the Dman compliment and accept you're an excrement hot writer who just kicked up a storm

[TKBickel]

Alright nice guy.
Could you at least slide a glass of wine over here to wash down the ‘compliment’ shoved down my throat.
Don’t force me to tell everyone that deep down you are a softy.

[EMF]

Take a look at my face. Does it look like I'm a softy? Drink your wine. I'll drink coffee blacker than my soul.

[TKBickel]

Can't see it from the shade of the brim.

[EMF]

And if it came to votes.... it would have mine

[TKBickel]

If I could buy one more word I would be happy but right now I shake my head at is thinking it’s just not complete. Damn forty word limit. Thanks for the smile of the day you mean man. Is that Starbucks coffee?
