Crystal connections of creation
cascade through the cosmos,
streaking slivers of segments
on which dreams are built.
Touching another motif,
new conceptions are produced;
all encoding is enmeshed
into the next piece.
No two patterns are identical
yet each is needed by the other
to finish its purpose,
before it joins with an additional string
to build a new realm.
Sections fitting together
so perfectly,
blend precisely
as ordained in formation.
Crafts by mankind,
or nature itself,
start with a small fragment,
each design dedicated to detail
exact, intricate, self-contained,
yet when other portions are added
masterpieces appear.

fav. animal - well, I reside with 2 demonic cats. My next lifetime, however, I want animals that are either stuffed (for my bed) or that have batteries in them - much less hassle! 
The motif in the picture reminds me of some big plastic snowflakes I made for the xmas tree, but they also remind me of some craft motifs I have to work into edgings, bridal gifts, curtains....whatever......
however....my thoughts wouldn't go that direction. I'm not real happy with this write, but here it is....lol

Thank you 'islekine' - glad you enjoyed.
I "knew" it wasn't a snowflake, not a real one any way. I thought maybe a water droplet/sand maybe/... under a microscope, then I thought of jewelry pieces - whatever - you WILL tell us right?????

Thank you so much 'Fritz..' for such a lovely comment. I am pleased you enjoyed this. I myself wasn't real happy with it....lol

It was my pleasure, as always...
Personally, I thought it was wonderful, but as artists, we'll always be our own harshest critics...
Take care,
Fritz.............. -

again, thank you.
yes, we are all so critical of our own work....lol....guess that's human nature.
best wishes

I really enjoyed reading this poem.. I still think it looks like something from a ring.. lol.. but that's my odd perspective on things.. You did a wonderful job with your poem and I think that you should leave it.. just because you aren't happy with it doesn't mean someone else will be.. I personally love it.. so no removing it.. I love the bg also.
good luck

Thanks kat - glad you enjoyed.
Yes, it could be a brooch, or a motif used in trimming. But my thoughts wouldn't work out that way....lolol.
glad you liked the bg - I took the pic and enlarged it, then really subdued the coloring so the font would show on it.....lol
-
-
A wonderful poem of treasured memories and fun making I would imagine.
Universal imagery within which is your strength and talent
Best wishes in the contest hun
