A subtle ivory glow       

emerging from the dusk,     

the bashful face of rock       

casually peering down on us. 


Oh, just a deflating beachball   
in a vast aquatic sea       

bleached by sweet sunrays   

and eagerly fading away.     


A miniscule speck of dust,       

a meek flickering bulb       

lazily burning out           

as the waning night grows old.

I attempted to reduce an "extraordinary" object with this poem, I hope you enjoy!
