Gilded Ashes

Gold
                 pure precious 
           alluring shining pining 
pharaohs emperors plebs commoners 
          repelling dulling whining 
                   crude waste
                        Dust

Jenna Logan Date: 8/26/2021 6:46:00 AM Great write, David. People lust for golden calves when material things are not those which should be desired. Lasaad is right about your chosen title.

Sotto Poet Date: 8/26/2021 6:01:00 AM David, you've made an original Diamente: Gold and Dust, and I like the title as well (gilded ashes). Best wishes for a win.
