Best Necklace Poems

The necklace broke; all the little pieces
went scattering across the kitchen floor.
Pretty beads were rolling into creases
of a bright rug that lay before the door.

In order to retrieve the beads, she tried
to kneel to grasp the remnants of her prize.
Some minutes passed. The girl broke...

Teetering on a fine line
stretching across the western horizon,
suspended fire, glowing orange-red ball,
slowly receding, slipping downward
until, just out of sight,
split into a thousand shades and tints
like fine lead crystal, broken,
pastel fragments scattered on the clouds,
a pearl necklace encircling
the sky’s bare neckline
before evening’s black velvet cloak

LIKE A PEARL NECKLACE

Tall, dark and handsome,
First impressions are good.
A lovely accent accentuates his lips,
this man who loves my sister.

Two families joined as one,
As white and dark wrist circles
celebrate at their wedding

With aromatic arabic melodies
Fe Sehetak
A lovely cup of love

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...

the gloves lay on the dresser
the strand of pearls nearby
her necklace went everywhere
but today there it would lie
 
a gift from her lover
she always told it that way
more truth it was her fiancé

a symbol that he adored her

Diamonds, rubies, and amethysts danced last night in my dreams,
Beautiful, sparkling gifts from my husband that were supreme.
For 30 years each custom piece was planned by him with care,
And when he surprised me with it I thought I was walking on air.

I remember each piece...

Old jewelry box,
with grandma's pearls and pendants.
How, I love them still !
They wanted to bury her,
with the pearls-  but I hid them.

In a Mall, Ninjas looked for necklaces
Suddenly predators attacked wreckless
There followed grim fight
Both used their utmost might
Sharpened swords making both of them neck-less

I dreamed I found this necklace 
That gave me super powers
When I put it on 
I was a hero for hours
I was cat woman wonder 
woman and bat girl all in one
But when I took the necklace off 
All my powers were gone
So I put...

Necklace on my night's neck
From a star and a thousand - star

Dream on my pillow's face _
From a thousand wish and seed

I run, as my life runs,
While my footsteps watching me
Lest to uproots me, the whirlwind'.

But I don't know how,
To recline...

Luminous
lights appear
in my long dreams,
as my soul, so it seems, holds high
a periscope
for my heart and mind to see
every surrounding scene

beyond the heavy, seamed quilt of history
laid over my long sleep,
my long night — as deeply
black as the pupils of my eyes
mirroring a moonless, starless...

This garnet chain you gave me
Is proof of your love
And in this, your face I see
Smiling from above

I keep this chain near my heart
Wear it every day
Me and your love never part
In my soul, you stay

This garnet chain you gave me
Shining in red hue
A bond...
