Gold Nugget
Gold- looks like drops of yellow sunshine,
that mesmerize the eye.
Gold- sounds like high healed celebrities,
tinkling down a red carpet.
Gold- smells of money and power,
mingled with the odor of white diamonds.
Gold- tastes metallic, yet unlike brass,
doesn’t linger on the tongue.
Gold- feels smooth and cool to the touch,
not as unyielding as bronze.
A gold nugget looks like a pebble of sunshine,
jacketed in the purest yellow.
And resonates with the accompanying subtle sounds,
of emeralds and blood red rubies.
A symbol of wealth, a gold nugget smells of success,
and is as indulgent as the finest white wine.
Without the tangy taste of brass,
gold feels as tactile as bronze,
with the added resplendent glitter of gilt.
