The Reason of Glitter is a reflective poetic form intended to satirize someone recently deceased, originating in The Jump of Bristling. The form guides poets during improvised performances. The poem is three quintains. Use of metaphor is characteristic of the form. A form of parallelism is common throughout the poem, in that certain lines use the same placement of allusions. Each line has five syllables. The second line of each quintain presents a different view of the subject of the first line. The fourth line of each quintain must expand the idea of the third line.
