Donna Jones Poet Rhyme

Rainbows Hidden In Stone

Crystals are found inside very unimpressive looking stones.  While I lived in AR I visited a quartz mine where some of the most beautiful crystals in the world come from. That is what this is about.

Rainbows hidden in stone
Lie deep inside to us seldom ever shown
Until the stone breaks they remain unknown
Forever rainbows hidden in stone

John Posey April 13, 2013 at 6:32 PM Donna, your poem brings to mind a dear, but now departed, friend He was a 'rock hound' and possessed many of these stones. He had all the tools to cut and polish them. He had some multi-syllabled geological name for them which doesn't do them nearly the justice your title does... Thanks for sparking some very pleasant memories.... Love to ya.... Jake Donna Jones April 13, 2013 at 7:06 PM Glad you enjoyed Jake .you could find them all over AR..thanks...Donna

Hgarvey Daniel Esquire March 23, 2013 at 7:46 PM Dear Donna, I have to be honest, I saw Rainbow in the title and thought YOU were taking me fishing again but I looked beyond my disappointment and saw the Beauty in the stone. I know YOU have seen this Precious Prism of hues as I saw crystals at Lake Mojava in Nevada. A very Colourful POEM Excellently done YOUR Quill does Shine. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Silent Secret LOVER...Harry Donna Jones March 23, 2013 at 9:58 PM Aren't they so beautiful..those wonderful prisms waiting there to shine inside the ugly gray rocks......fascinating...God's wonders

Brandi Mitchell February 3, 2013 at 1:00 PM I find it refreshing when I read a poem that rhymes! I rhyme my poems, and I always like rhyming poems better:) Donna Jones February 3, 2013 at 3:38 PM Guess I'm old school, but I am starting to try other forms. Thank you for reading my poem

Justcallme Britt February 1, 2013 at 6:52 PM The titles to all of your poems are enticing. You're a model poet seeing poetry in otherwise overlooked aspects <3 Donna Jones February 1, 2013 at 7:18 PM Very kind words my new friend. I've only been on soup and been brave enough to let anyone see anything I've written just the last few days. They have been like a dairy for me. Thank you for stopping by to read. Blessings

Tim Ryerson February 1, 2013 at 1:17 PM Another beauty, Donna!...when I was just a tot, we went to AR and visited a diamond mine...fascinating experience...we could be talking about the same place...I was born in MS and live in Louisiana...are you from the South? - Tim Donna Jones February 1, 2013 at 4:22 PM Well I have travelled all over the country but OK is home. Mena AR is the area where I went to. It really is amazing the beauty inside those grey ugly rocks. Thank you for your nice words.

Russell Sivey February 1, 2013 at 11:11 AM They are a beautiful part of nature, I just love it when you see the insides of this rock when it is cracked open! I really love the crystals that are within them! This write so perfectly describes this! What a delightful poem, Great Work!! Donna Jones February 1, 2013 at 4:25 PM Isn't it wonderful! Those ugly rocks hold such beautiful things inside them. A good life lesson could be learned on this trip, I was humbled. Thanks for stopping by.
