James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Rhyme

Gold and Diamonds Are My Favorite Gems- -

Much I marveled the splendid beautiful jewels of Taylor
I heard the Liberian, tall regarding of her gold;
Eagerly I looked for the Alexander Baylor;
Envied here for evermore precious rubies sold;
In service to the throne must I remind her?
Soft is your touch;
Alas the diamond is rough;
Take thy coal from out my heart;
Compress it with power ignited this rock;
Rubies and gold are just a start;
Gatherings of precious jewels ravages;
Instead I uncovered the rose quartz;
And its eyes have all the enameling savages;
I could not awaken that gilded, gilded spark lings;
My eyes blinded by the brilliant gems;
Gold and diamonds are my favorite precious gem;
