About setting your sights low and failing . . . [bodytext] => brummagem dreams
that glint gold in the light
and if you just glance
sometimes you don't even notice
how the glimmers are only
gold spray paint

the glint of silver, myself . . .)

brummagem dreams
tawdry, they dazzle and shine
and mean so very little
meretricious, indeed--
sugarspun sickly sweet delight
that tastes ever so much better
than a full meal
(shimmery spray paint
covering clay . . .)

brummagem dreams
an easy method
of producing a smile
cheap, perhaps,
but they look so fine
hang them up by the window
and see the light shine through
(and it hurts so bad
when they slip, fall, and shatter . . .) [comments] => 10 [counter] => 227 [topic] => 43 [informant] => ShadowDaughter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 19 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

This i liked. I think this was a great wright myself. It sorta poored a bitter meaning sweetly. Biterly sweet is the only words i can come up with. Your one of the few to leave me short of words. Jolly good show.

This is a nicely written piece Nora. I wish I could just look at a single word and write a poem out of it. Excellent work. *S* Cynthia

This is delightful. I love these lines best. Makes me think of when I would wake up as a kid and Jack Frost had decorated my window with icey snowflakes.
Wonderful!
