Analysis of The Glass Rainbow

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



The bracelet was picked up but not yet was it safe, locked away as if in a locket.

The young female stranger passed with little power, only influencing play for an hour.

Then it found its rightful place, upon a tiny amber wrist it graced.

It's colours were given names in plural, it's texture evenly scattered in octagonal bumps.
