Glitter is powered by magic,
It’s the only way I can explain,
How you use glitter once,
And you tidy it up,
But it appears again and again.
Even the tiniest dusting of glitter,
Will reach all the crannies and nooks,
Reappearing weeks after
You used it,
To remind you how pretty it looks
When lining your favourite handbag,
Or sprinkled on carpets and throws.
You can hoover or dust,
With the greatest of care,
But the glitter just never quite goes.
One day I’ll be grateful of glitter,
When my children have both flown the nest,
I will look at the
Glorious glitter
And remember the times I loved best.
It’s so true. I can even find it in the cats’ paws. Yes, the glitter of the past can sustain you.

in the cat’s paws! Now that is impressive….
I find sand is similar.

I LOVE glitter! You don’t get that with two boys in the house. We always had train tracks, cars and dirt.

That´s very true, but for me is annoying, I don´t use glitter I´m a mean macho man, but it sort of like the sand in the beach, days after you leave the beach you´ll still find sand in the backpack, it gets annoying!
But you wrote it very nicely.

Of course… surely they do black ‘MAN GLITTER’ though? 😉

Random fact my (bipolar) mum once painted my Dad gold from head to foot when he was passed out!

That´s funny,(not the bipolar part) but if you think about it…it is. By the way your name and surename it is a mouthful. But got to give this to your mother, she picked a name that´s stands out, which for a writer is not bad, it´s original and it´s cute. Pooky…when I say it out loud it sort of puts a smile on your face. And you really wan´t too see the funky christmas dance? I promise you´ll have to go to therapy later on.

So true. Forever finding it around the house and wondering who was last over with something glittery?! Amidst the frustration of cleaning, glitter is always special.

I love it…. it follows me around too. In a client meeting today I found sparkles of pink glitter blinking back at me from my laptop’s keyboard!
