Ancient Jewelry
In galleries of ancient art
Were cases filled with rings
And necklaces and bracelets,
Maybe meant for wives of kings.
Or possibly for normal folk,
For lots were made of clay,
Ceramic beads not different from
What might be worn today.
Though I couldn’t own these pieces
Made in ancient Greece or Rome,
I could pay them homage with
A little mention in a poem.
