The Emerald and May cemented together for the symbols of spring. I recently learned that Aquamarine is also an Emerald... it just stops short in the process before becoming green with a little different chemical but they are both emeralds. Sky and Earth. Congratulations on your win.

Thank you Edlynn. I am happy to know my granddaughter and I share the emerald then, as my May stone and her March stone is Aquamarine. There is so much to learn about gemstones. : )

Such a lovely Triolet for the 'Emerald' theme, Connie! Green is my favorite color, and Spring glorifies it so much, as does your lovely poem. Congrats on your Podium win! Hugs, Sandra

Well done. I had wondered how you would handle this contest about "May" considering you're loaded with May's blessings. The pics are gorgeous and so are the lines in your triolet. Love ... CayCay
