Caren Krutsinger Poet Rhyme

My Favorite Gemstone This Minute

My Favorite Gemstone Today This Minute
Light blue topaz in a sea worthy shape
Worn proudly daily on finger and nape

Sapphires and green emeralds thrown in drawer.
Telling their secrets in hushed, pirate lore

Yes, I found the stone that makes my heart sing.
Topaz lifts me up on an angel’s wing.

Even my diamond is nothing right now.
Blue of the topaz is my biggest wow.

No, this will not forever remain so.
Gemstone lover, I am fickle, I know.

M. L. Kiser May 14, 2019 at 9:14 AM I have one I bought at an antique shop years ago, that I can no longer wear; even my thumb is too small for it now. I love looking into it though. Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2019 at 11:32 AM She epitomizes the sea and the sky.

Kim Rodrigues May 13, 2019 at 7:49 PM Excellent! Caren Krutsinger May 14, 2019 at 12:38 AM Thank you Kim. I kept re-thinking it, but I am a Gemini. We cannot settle on anything for more than a few hours at a time.
