Sitting pretty-
On a glass shelf,
Figurine porcelain;
Oh so Fragile!
Placed delicately,
As a masterpiece-
Poets’ Muse,
Viewers’ Delight.
Timeless Beauty,
A great rarity;
Legendary Tales-
Enchased in History..
Celebrated across-
With Joy n Pride,
Critiques’ Laud;
Worshipped as God!

Ah, a delicate poem! I’m in my Grandmas castle, falling apart, blowing the dust off family heirlooms lurking on the mantle.
It’s super!
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:25:50
gee Thanks Kolembo.. so sweet of you .. 🙂 xx
Mar 09, 2011 @ 09:30:53

Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:28:53
Thank you Reggie 🙂
Mar 09, 2011 @ 08:03:50
great write! It’s amazing how sometimes we so much wish to protect those who we look up to that we make the characteristics that we liked so much an alien notion than something familiar that we can obtain or already possess.
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:31:04
That’s right Anthony!
At times we make them sound absolutely un- attainable n un- achievable!!
sigh..
I wanted to give it a twist how it may break apart in just one shake- then I left it at Fragile!

Thanks sweetheart! I like the new gravatar!! Love xxx

Olivia,
Those who did not idolize, were damned.
In a corner
Solitary, they must not look on!
A vantage point,
A view of the muse.
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:32:43
Smirk… 😉
Mar 08, 2011 @ 11:23:30
Superb piece of writing.
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:33:02
Thank you a big bunch Dear xxx
Mar 08, 2011 @ 06:47:31
What a wonderful poem! I do believe, however, being left up on a shelf would be rather boring. Mine is here. http://razzamadazzle.wordpress.com/2011/03/07/lessons-from-my-mother/
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:33:40
You said it.. when You climb up, you are rather left alone!!
Love xx

Just dropped in to check out your latest & greatest. Loved this one for the whimsical tone. Hope all is well,
crb.
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:34:28
Thanks crb.. excepting that killer brooding; all’s rocking.. smiles xx
Mar 07, 2011 @ 22:12:28

Truly enchanting.
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:35:36
Glad you liked it- Thanks 🙂
Mar 07, 2011 @ 20:45:35
is this a form in itself, Olly? it flowed so well and described the image wonderfully.. a harp would truly get inspiration I think..

Floating.. gloating.. n all such!
Read you in a bit 🙂
Mar 07, 2011 @ 20:35:53
sweet!!! I enjoyed “poet’s muse, viewer’s delight” and smiled, for surely it can be both…I like the twist though, I so enjoy twisted complexities lol
Happy monday!
Mar 12, 2011 @ 16:36:38
lolss
So do I.. twisted n complexities both n together- hahaha xxx
Mar 07, 2011 @ 16:39:10
Nice to see a different style, Olivia. This works so well!
Keep experimenting – you never know what you might discover!

You are so sweet Jess (your words- to be precise- lolss)
Thanks for the encouragement- my quest in on… xoxox

Thank you Sina 🙂
Mar 07, 2011 @ 12:32:17
my most prized possesion is a 1st edition book pf poetry by longfellow. I have never understood the quest of things that people idolize to the point of madness, when our real things are love, hope, & kindness. Your poem made me go, “excatly!”
I loved it.
Mar 07, 2011 @ 19:30:15
hehehe Thanks Luna! 🙂 xx
Mar 07, 2011 @ 11:14:07
Poet’s muse, viewer’s delight!
This is quite alright!
Mar 07, 2011 @ 09:00:23
stunning imagery..
A++
you always inspire us.
Mar 07, 2011 @ 19:08:08
Thank you Ji 🙂
You are always so encouraging xx
Mar 07, 2011 @ 08:41:25
Admired by many, but left on the shelf,
Reflecting each visitor’s inner self,
Placed prominently to be always in sight,
Fragile and delicate, the viewer’s delight!
Very nicely done, Olivia!
Mar 07, 2011 @ 19:06:50
Thank you Dan 🙂
So nice of you to have written these admiring words!
Love xx
Mar 07, 2011 @ 08:33:58
I like this, Olivia. Great job dear one. “Poet’s Muse, Viewer’s Delight” I like that.
Mar 07, 2011 @ 19:01:28
Thank you Cheryl 🙂
Wishing you a nice week!
Mar 07, 2011 @ 07:59:05
Girl… really, this is perfectly perfect!! Sincerely!!
By keeping it generic, you have said it all too well… we worship so many things… we idolize so many people for so many different things… it’s hard to pin point any one 🙂
Yes.. they are there.. on that pedestal… smiling at us… waiting to be adored! 🙂
Mwwahhzz to you, lady!!
Mar 07, 2011 @ 10:45:40
Kavz Dear,
As agreed upon mutually, I won’t try n Thank you; but definitely, I love the way you make me do these! The little secret is out- if you had not “insisted”; I would have lost an opportunity to feel this nice this morning..
This time I had tried a different way of writing this one- usually I write big sentences with lot of characterizations.. It was way too different. Honestly, I had wanted to do this since long; wasn’t sure I could!
So once again a it’s biggie what has happened here with my words. I guess I do well under pressure (as in when made to do types).. Oh boy! and when I am sulking.. lolss
Loads of Mwaahs right back at you
Hugs xoxox
Mar 11, 2011 @ 06:12:34
And now that we are talking about idolizing, here is my way of saying how AWESOME and VERSATILE you are, my dear sweet Livvvvvv!! 😀
xxxxxx
And hugs too!!
Mar 07, 2011 @ 07:07:37
Flows. Lovely mind pictures and stories triggered. Thanks!
