Jeweled World a Metophorical Poem
The grass dew laden emerald hue
The sky a clear and sapphire blue
Scarlet poppies nodding ruby heads
In the distance, silver riverbeds
Diamonds from the branches dripping
Humming birds from blossoms sipping
Bronze beams through forests dancing
Dappled fawn through woodlands prancing
Flamingos, stately, feathered pink
Scurrying rabbits, clad in mink
Velvet weasel quietly prowls
Giving forth deep throated growls
Caterpillars through young leaves creep
Topaz frogs, from lilies leap
Garnet berries glowing bright
Butterflies there upon alight
Amethyst flowers, a purple haze
Where gentle deer contently graze
Aquamarine shimmer of rippling pond
Jade green fern with unfurled frond
All around the earth abounds
With life so full and so profound
Sparkling shimmer of crystal pool
Golden sun, on worldly jewel.
