Best Jade Poems

There once was a pirate named Slade,
had a crush on Jade the mermaid.
Asked her out on a date,
thought this love was his fate...
turned out she was there to get laid!

Jades of green, yellow and white; 
the colors of life grow warm against the skin.

Precious gems of the lands minerals; 
coveted by any, Jade is the stone of emperors;  
lends a classy aire to any occasion and 
a warm, rich presence to its wearer.

Tracing Outlines on my cup of tea
I stare at him out of the corner of my cavernous coffee eyes
Sitting there reading Che, Zapata, Chavez, Castro 
Blinking, breathing, seething

Wherever the winter falls,
upon snowflakes of a frozen saudade ~
rising from the flares
of maple-gold and copper,
I waltz in lilac lanes of petrified pigments,
imperfectly splattered by impure poppies ~
exhaling myself in a universe without you...

Somewhere in darkness,
billowing along broken curves
I feel entranced to follow
these scattered sapphire...

Quote:"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography".
Federico Fellini

The Taos Indian crafted jewel,  
A necklace strung with jade and some other gems. 
Looked so pretty to me, I bought it on the spot, 
Presented it to my wife, which she never wore...

JADE
by Rosemarie Rowley

	
I knew you fainthearted what side you were on
When you talked of social reality: not Jesus at the well
With the Samaritan woman, or the invisible loss of power
Which halts her speech and causes His deference

Holding her in trust for what she is.
You can...

I would like naught but the chance to glimpse a glimmering shadow upon a sun streaked field, 

To find a place of darkening grace, that brings me to lucidity.
To hold and behold the essence of a thing that only kings had been able to wield.

There's nothing worse than hogging the scene
It's even sadder that they have to be mean
     To be seen and not heard
     Is the truest of words
It's even worse when they turn a dull green

What wild glee behind your tame grin lurks?
What shy sun fears to breach your heart’s horizon?
And to against your hidden teeth of 
Alabaster gleam. Bestowing upon the earth the breadth of 
Your delight. With rays of a beam that girds 
Time at the waist.

Whooosh! Brrrrr...icy!..North wind in a steady gale blowing hard.

Whipping up the  green sea into a jade and white peaked frenzy.

The water turning to  an  ultramarine blue on  the misty  horizon
 
Dappled  clouds  echo a  scaly sea pattern...

Sloth-toed ivy flutters
in lissome breeze,
each pentagram the pinion
of a jade butterfly
clustered on a brick wall.
In the throes of spring
they sojourn
from dark loam
toward shingled firmament,
past celestial windows
pewter with light
as they besmirch
diaphanous peril,
imagining
when they reach heaven
they will repose like angels
in the shimmering damask
of God's aura.
