Poetry Prompts Day 3 - OctPoWriMo 2016

When Morgan asked me which prompts I wanted to write this month, this one was a no-brainer for me. After all, my favorite color is rainbow glitter!

Once I got past my obvious attraction to this topic, I generated a list of other things that SPARKLE. For the prompt today, I offer you these images (all from publicdomainpictures.net).
