The Tuesday night short poetry workshop tonight has to do with the Ekphrastic form of deriving a poem based on a work of art including digital art/photographs.  From this I came up with the following:

Sparkle Dim Ekprhastic
by Michael Romani

In a matter of beautiful karma
No one is going to dim her sparkle
She dances on as if it doesn't matter
And she'll never allow anyone to shatter

Her loving heart and loving ways
As they shine through like sun rays
She shares them with me when I'm down
Giving me an instant smile when I frown

It's so much more than platitude
That I know I owe this girl my gratitude
Thankful to know that I'm her man
Seeing through her eyes, I've come to understand

That allowing her to be who she is freely
Is what allows her to be the better part of we
As I watch her creating art from nowhere
Always beside me with loving heart she's there

There is one so blessed and I am him
To know that she'll never let her sparkle dim
She knows this beyond all knowing, glowing
And in all the things does we are growing

Yes, I know it's more than empty platitude
To say that I know I owe her undying gratitude
Thankful to know that I am her loving man
Seeing through her eyes, I've come to understand
