Kaleidoscope
Confusion of it all within
Those facets, a kaleidoscope
The rattle of glass as it turns
Geometry within askew
The shapes coalesce into a form
Face now aligned, a wonderment
Several colors subtly defined
Eyes still radiant with every turn
But I at last remove this toy
And see her standing in the light
There is perfection to her face
A smile reflecting through the night.

And see her standing in the light
There is perfection to her face
A smile reflecting through the night.

This read as a lovely 'admiration' poem - gently done and rolling along nicely - with soft and appropriate imagery (no pun intended). I really liked it.
{ Minor quibble re honest feedback: my only bug-bear is the word 'shards' - a purely personal thing due to it's over-use in poetry - how about "the shapes are tumbling to a form" ? }

Thank you for the kind feedback and RL entry, Josh. Your point's well taken. I will substitute "shards" with "shapes." It constitutes an improvement. Thanks again!

Bravo Sir Crow! This demonstrates such classic romanticism. Beautifully composed.
