All Glass Inside

Some glass -
thin as a whisper,
fragile as a light bulb
dropping.

Some glass -
decorative,
frosted
and opaque.

Some glass –
tempered,
tough,
imbedded with wire mesh.

Woman of
the hidden glass,
which are you?

[My wife is ‘tempered glass’, for sure]

    This is very creative, an awesome way to put words to women and their personalities etc

    Go Carla for giving you this idea, you gave it such justice my friend

    I enjoyed this in every way possible, each word to me is perfect and holds so much on it owns but the piece feels whole too

    Well done


    Cindy
