Precious Metals

~ In these inflationary times ~


   Some are into precious metals
     Others, out of them

   Even poets face tough times
     ~ unless they write a gem

I'm with you, Bill. Rhyme is my favorite meter. (?)

I shall do my best to avoid the 'cubic zirconium' writes if at all possible. Thank you, Heidi! ~ Gershon

Gershon, "making a pearl" is something that many poets wish they could accomplish every day. One could only have a place amongst a multitude of authors if they have a collection of gemstones.

Very kind of you to write your words of praise, LaSaad. You are that rarest of species, a true gentleman. Thank you, Gershon

Good thought, gw. Yes, sometimes it's difficult to find that gem. On the other hand, sometimes that gem turns to gold. You are an alchemist. You do that often, my friend.

"writing a gem" is what so many hope to do daily! Soup is living proof of it!
