Gems of Life

Such riches I have known beyond compare Which neither gold nor sapphire could outshine; The scent of honeysuckle in the air Or velvet touch of newborn skin on mine. 14.09.19 'Arbitrium Divisa 4 Poetry Contest' sponsored by Gregory Barden Excerpt taken from my poem 'Life's riches' 'Quat-Ro Your Four Line Poetry Contest' sponsored by Brian Strand
