Best Nugget Poems

Jumbled jewels all glisten
Ready for a stint imprisoned
Stuck in setting glory losing
Witness to debauchery and boozing

Bound in filth a nugget found
Pasture yields a bounty fast
Cut and polished set for sale
No justice, lost from purity

The innocence of one destroyed
Full dishonor breeds contempt
All for glaring wicked posture

A poem about my misscariage 

I dreamt of a pool with red water
I dove in
Swam to the empty floor
There was a drain
The pool became a red ocean
The ocean became red rain
The rain became the shower where I lost you
Again I heard you hit the shower...

Gold- looks like drops of yellow sunshine,
         that mesmerize the eye.
Gold- sounds like high healed celebrities,
         tinkling down a red carpet.
Gold- smells of money and power,

Does anyone have an Easter chick?
We have four, a rooster and three hens
Named Junior, nugget, chirpy and twin
These bitties love to snuggle and watch TV
They have taken me for their mom
The rooster likes to be a daredevil
He will run right up to the dog and...

Elephant emphatically exhorted
“Nature – God’s glory, can’t be thwarted
What’s unique in me, do you know?
A boneless trunk picking up things high or low”

Frog in filth croaked and frisked
“Nature – Maker’s magnificence, can’t be depleted
What’s special about me, can you say?
Neckless I am formed to stay.”

Today I undertake to put on the highest cloak of humility.
To consider myself as an offshoot of Grace.
To act in the lowest denomination of pride.
As much as place other before me in love,
to place every human above my one unit cell of self.
To uphold the...

Rain is on the way, with cool damp air and cloud cover of gray
    A large golden nugget of sunshine is held in the mind with warmth
  To endure the storm brought by weather’s sudden decision to change

About 9 months ago, a girl came to class with a black eye. I didn't ask any questions. I just cut my potatoes, made the soup, and kept it moving. 

Six month mark, young cat stopped cutting his potatoes a little early. Skipped washing dishes...

It sounds like a casino, but it is a deli-diner,
only open for breakfast and lunch.
A Ruben sandwich will cost you ten bucks,
but it is the best in town.

A girl-child covered in butterflies. I swear,
right there in the car park.
Pearly Eyes and Appalachian Browns mostly
but some...

I've been here for so long
trying to soften the dullest words
digging madly inside of me
in search of the prettiest nugget
but when I finally gave up
recognizing to be made of pure gravel
I heard the beautiful cracking sound
of certainties shattering
attesting that maybe
what i believed was horrible in...

In fields of gold, where wildflowers play,
A tiny gem, the light of day,
I wander through the meadow's green,
Where butterflies glide, soft and serene.

With wings like jewels, they drift and soar,
A wonder of colors, evermore.
They dance with sunbeams, dip and sway,
In warm, bright air they float...

I woke up one morning during the season of spring;
To an avalanche that made my ears ring.

Seeing a shadow of glimmering gold;
I arose from bed to find a mystery untold.

Through a forest of frozen piney icicles;
On a mountaintop, the shadow sparkled.

Near a meadow, birds were...
