Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Rainbow Hues

I’m ruby red for passion
Blue sapphire like the sky
Turquoise like the ocean
These gems I have inside

Bluish green in daytime
Purplish red at night
Alexandrite symphony
Reveals my inner light

An amethyst so peaceful 
It brings me inner calm
Aquamarine tranquility 
My soul sings along

Bloodstone for courage
Citrine golden hues
Diamond strength for purity
So many gems to choose

I was born from stardust
Gems of rainbow hues 
I suspect that probably 
you my friend, were too.
