Shades Of Tiffany The lamp's base formed as a tree trunk
expands into a stunning lampshade
brimful of flowers, leaves and dragonflies.
Nature is set in iridescent glass.
Opaque and opalescent alike,
vibrant colors patterned forward as the
lamp is lit under the tiffany shade.
Resplendent inspiring the senses
in stained glass world's of luminosity.
Uniquely alive as lights turned to on.
Aligned with energy of the sun
highlighting times of the day in need of
fresh perception and moments that require
revelation.

Hi D...this is an excellent poem. You have created a perfect image of a Tiffany lamp. I can imagine myself starring at this lamp and absorbing its beauty...but even more than that it would make me wonder at its lights. Even when it is off it is lovely in the light of day. I can imagine the sun jumping off its vibrant glass colors....well done.
Cheers....Marilyn

Such beauty is presented within the lines of this one my friend and the perfection of the Tiffany lamp is captured in full glory. I love to walk by a store that has a front window filled with them especially at dusk when the lights are turned on allowing the world to come to life in a very magical way. Always wanted one never seem to have found the right one.....The very 'old' ones are so beautiful each a creation of its own. Your words have brought this lamp to life and the colors are splendid. Great job, well done, God Bless, Claire

Dellena, I enjoyed the piece on a Tiffany Lamp, as an allegory to life, living and creation in general. I am intimately aware of the stained glass beauty of Tiffany Lamps, or maybe this piece was inclusive of another metaphor; that of a Tiffany Lamp look alike that still provide like beauty.
Often your poetry ends in hope. I know for you, hell, for many of us the road is often shadowed, but your “enlightenment†within the allegory is a fine lesson to us all.
I don’t know if you put forethought into your ending thought word selection, but “dragonflies†– “luminosityâ€- and “revelations†are excellent reinforcements of each other and the vision of hope within the verse. Dragonflies, often the foretelling of storms and woe, are the liaison between gods and man, and in so being, reinforce the “light†as knowledge - and the very fact of “God†allows for hope and fortune.
I enjoyed the piece. The meter and form match the theme. An enjoyable read.

fresh perception and moments that require revelation.
Those are my favorite lines! They almost spell out the whole of it and are very well penned. I really appreciate this bit of beauty! It-the written work-offers new revelation as well.
A reminder that wisdom can be found in many things, including light; wheather it be setting through stained glass or sunliight.
I would love to see the base of this lamp! A very nice poem! Smiles, Ellen

Dellena,
I have a deep fondness for Tiffany lamps, never quite knew what intriqued me about them or why I could spend inordinate amounts of time studying them. You've nailed it down for me, had never somehow looked at them as you've so well described here, how very true your statements are and in such well penned phrases.

Dellena...
This is absolutely stunning in all it's colorful imagery. Who would have thought such a beautiful rendering could come from such a simple every object as a lamp?! (Should there be a comma after "replendent?") Such a trivial thing that takes nothing away from the granduer of the scene you present to us! I especially love how you ended this..."fresh perception and moments that require revelation...." stated so very eloquently! The lines breaks, perfect leads into the ensuing stanzas. Masterfully penned, indeed. Brava, Claire!!
Warmly,
Mary
