Valerie Staton Poet Rhyme

Jeweled Wonders To Behold

Atop a walnut table with ebonised legs 
Sat a Victorian brooch, white and red. 
She wore diamonds and rubies brilliant and bright,
That sparkled within all sources of light.
Bejeweled little butterfly trimmed in gold,
A wonder you are for the eye to behold.
"Am I not beautiful?" inquired the dragonfly,
from its perch on an occasional table nearby.
Dressed in diamonds, rubies, and mounted on gold,
With enameled wing and tail, a dazzling bouton pearl...
It too was a wonder for the eye to behold.
"What about me!" shouted a diamond pendant watch. 
"And me!" shouted a brooch with a white paste heart.
"What about me?" inquired a flower, art nouveau...
"Enough! shouted a disgruntled Cameo,
dressed in pearls, diamonds, rubies, and gold.
"We all are wonders to behold!"

Rowena Velasco July 22, 2025 at 5:30 AM Valerie, this poem truly made me smile. I could see the jewels gleaming and almost hear them talking! You’ve captured that magical feeling of standing in front of a vintage display, where each piece seems to whisper its own story. I especially loved the cameo’s voice at the end—bold and unifying. This felt like stepping into a jeweled fairytale. Thank you for the wonder.

Weston Gregory March 23, 2023 at 5:13 AM Hi Valeri, there is a truth in this th“t speak to making in you that acknowledgement of how unique you are and the beauty you bring to the world...I think you created a metaphor on acceptance and the divine. This piece is lovely Valerie Staton March 23, 2023 at 7:36 AM Thank you very much Weston! I appreciate your feedback.
