Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

Ruby Shopping Trip

Ruby Shopping Trip

I spent my day shopping for rubies 
 Among the carnelian dewdrops;
Gazing into garnet and golden skies -
 Inhaling coral rose scent through raindrops.

I spent my twilight in an andesine sunset;
 Fire opals lighting up in constellations;
Twinkling spinels mined from crimson dwarfs;
 Star rubies flash smiles in jubilation.

I spent my midnight dreaming of cinnabar -
 Visions of chests filled with jewels;
Spellbound - enchanted -wealth unimagined -
Only to find it on nature’s footstool.
