Transparent, like the world’s beauty,

Constantly threatened, always in danger,

Brings warmth, protection, light.

Like the earth, forged with great heat,

Like the earth, shining in the sun.

But when broken, irreparable.

It brings injury and pain.

Glass, more than meets the eye.

Bastien A 7F

Arising from the clump of raw materials,

Sand, soda ash, limestone,

formed from molten,

This new creation has unseen properties,

Transparent, heat resistant,

Hard, brittle,

An amorphous utilitarian solid,

Moulded to our needs,

Window panes, tableware, optics,

Dating back to 1300 BC,

All around us,

An essential to human life,

Look beyond the glass,

Glass; more than meets the eye

Amelie B 11A & Ruby R 10B

Born of silica,

a refracting light of hope,

gleaming off the radiant sun.

Used to drink water and used to make telescopes,

how useful it is.

Usage may be free, however, people may forget that sustainability and importance is key.
