You have until Sunday afternoon to post a poem on here before the Topic changes. Please post it directly onto this topic, rather than posting a link. You're welcome to discuss poems on here also.
This week's Topic is Crystal. If anyone has any objections to this topic, please go to the Poetry Topic Objections post.
Poems can be as long and short as you want them to be. This is not a contest, it's just for fun and to show off our own poetry. 
Failure
Looking through the crystal,
Makes poor Samuel dismal.
He sees that he is late.
He'll never make the date.
The deadline fast approaching,
Samuel quickly etching,
Quickly building,
Quickly fussing.
Rushing to the onslaught.
But the outcome came to naught.
Not easy to see.
Too easy to be. 
Unlucky
I saw it clear and icy
Those crystals made me dizzy
It noted nothing dull
It glittered in her shawl
I finally found a date
To dance with until late
But Oh, how unfortunate!
She already had a date. 
Ok, I know this contest is over, but I was having problems sleeping a few nights ago, and I wanted to share. Just for fun reading. I don't know much about poems, just that lately, it's the only thing that I can really write, other than really short anecdotes.
