Sparkling
March 10, 2010
A fraction
of the ocean
is lit up.
Gleaming,
Glistening,
Sparkling.
The sun,
is hiding,
but marking
its presence
by mirroring
its image,
in reflection.
Gleaming,
Glistening,
Sparkling.
Glancing,
it flickers,
and jumps
to my eyes;
never moving,
it lies there,
sprawled across.
Gleaming,
Glistening,
Sparkling.

Your poetry has nice variety to it. You're not simply reusing the same poem each time. I like how this one keeps returning to the same three magical words, "Gleaming, Glistening, Sparkling." Each one is full of imagery, and together they enable us to easily "see" the vision in your head.
