Beautiful Bill.

A heart of prismatic glass displays love's spectrum all the more brilliantly.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

Yo Bill,

Try to avoid inversions such as:

"restless did I become".  "I became restless" would be simpler and would sound better.

Other than that, I liked it fine.

Bobby, I think that the inversion adds to the poem rather than taking away from it.  It's beautiful either way and is very powerful.  The picture is a very nice fit, too.

Bill, this is beautiful (and I am using the word correctly). The image is gorgeous, I wish I could be there right now and read your poetry.

I must say that there are a few places where the meter could be easily adjusted with minimal alteration; if you read it aloud, I'm sure you'll know what I mean

Words inked in poetic fashion as only you can
Very very nice. Thank you.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

Suncleaver - Your words are so true, and appreciated...

Bobby - tried the simpler way with the words, but it seems it adds more meaning the way I wrote it. I do appreciate your picking up on this...

Michele - your reply means a lot to me with the words you wrote. Thank you muchly...

Blood.Wolf - as in my reply to Bobby I feel the same way about the inversion of the words. Thank you for the gracious words in your reply...

Marc-Andre - I'm touched by your words, and would love to have you over to read some of my writings I've been working on. Appreciate the meter construct. Thank you for reading this and for your reply...

HelmutB - thank you for your gracious comments, and for stopping by for a read...

Juju - thank you for your comment...

garysgirl - I've not seen you in a while, and it's nice to see you again. I started  writing once again after a long absence, and enjoying it more. Thank you for your reply...

Namyh - yes, I agree with you that none of us is shatterproof and I've tried to put it into words at times. Thanks for reading this writing, and for replying...

Lindsay - my friend, unfortunitely I sometimes wonder if it is made of glass or not. However, I'll try and express it in words the best I can. Also appreciate your reading my writings and replying to them...

Reading this was like breathing together with the trees in that wonderful picture and listening to your beautiful heart whispers.

You created a wondrous atmosphere, dear Bill.
