Gems

Countless gems of splendor, all equally fair. Showing their glory; all treasure’s so rare. Her humble beginning; modest and without shine. She grows under pressure and forms over time. By earth’s brutal force, she’s inflicted and immersed. Merciless laws, enforced by the universe. Persistence, persistence; the roots of her perfection. Such serenity ensued from that ruthless production. Now she is treasured, now she is divine. An undisputed beauty; a manifestation so benign. She’s no accident, nor a product of chance; She’s a deliberate design, shining with magnificence.

Jonah, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
