Garnets

Gems of sunset adorn
Gelid skies of Janus;
Garlands of blood-beads cast
Glints on glacial landscape,
Giving brief warm relief...
Glimmering sparks to thaw
Grief's glassy ice-shards.

Full, Charlotte, full of imagery and imagination. Garnets a much preferred choice over rubies. Love the pleiades form featuring alliteration. Well done! Congrats on your worthy read/write.
