Wholly

Blessed are the frill-less mattes:
a shrine of canvassed stone,
whose round parts are their flats -
the warmth of brush and bone.

What good is there to waltz
with a willow laced in brass?
Harlequins of hot bronze
dance in the shining grass.

Platinum plating glows
The steel starts to emancipate.
This, I know:
All dulls, will time sufffice fate.

I once adorned the polishing
of such, copper painted gold;
never so clear as quartz
was folly before so bold.

Reviews

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

The simplest of pleasures cannot be obtained with the riches of this world. True wealth is derived from within, from eyes that dare to behold the beauty hidden deep within. In truth, the greatest joys I've obtained are from the simple things, the free things, those things divinely provided: a sunrise, a sunset, twinkling stars in an ebon sky, the whisper of waves as they rush ashore. Well written.

I thank you for your review. I agree with what you've said.
The divinity of nature is beautiful, though sometimes cold. When nature, whether of the wild or of a lover, imparts us their warmth, it is indeed beautiful.
Salute,
Dalton

The representation of the idea is colorful and animated. The cadence of the structure makes it melodious which is not merely confined to rhyme. As to the latter if feels natural. Really enjoyed it!

when minerals are in their most natural state...unadorned--they are beautiful...so are people, the same way...without the fills...or the lace...natural state inside and out...that is beauty.

[Dalton]

I could not agree with you more.
Thank you for your blessings.
