Emerald Eyes

Sparkle 
to opals do they lend 
shine 
to emeralds they offend 

exude 
the missive they can send 
glow 
despair they often mend 

burnish 
surpass and do not bend 
heal 
put right before the end

This is wonderful. I like the rhyming scheme and how it moves the poem along. The title is consistent with the words. Welcome to Poetry Soup and keep writing. Blessings, Joseph
