Rarity

A Pre-Pageant Poem

Brought inside the hall sends a crashing wave of ecstasy.
Enamored with 16 shimmering jewels, all faced with glee.
Jittering audience from their wine-colored seats while the jewels sparkle and shine.
Erudites readying to critique all of them looking fine.
With all the years holding these pageants, what makes this so special?
Everything, as it’s all so celestial.

Lights, camera, action!
Everything then paused and my mind enters a state of distraction.
Discovering their advocacies and talents bring us awe.
My want is keeping it raw.
Every jewel glimmers differently: from color to carat.
As I gaze upon each of them, I wonder who can bear the responsibilities with a kind-hearted spirit.

Need I say that this is not the finals, however, I can’t help but pick from the very start.
Since the lights shift from every jewel, the rarity is greatly apart.
Repeating in the back of their heads: “do not flub in front of everyone.”
A beauty and a handsome to choose among all into just one.
Rare jewels that feel bedazzled.
I feel like I am as well onstage and bejeweled.
This is not my memento but of theirs.
Yearning that the jewels chosen shine brightest and earned those mesmerized stares.
