God's Milk In A Ball of Silk
Pure and plain like a plump white plum,
Evenness of color in a swirling euphoric fog.
Alchemy in a shell ready to sell for the chance of romance.
Round and rolling right out of Heaven's Chest.
Line, string, & loop 'round the neck that is your best.

Pearl or Jade Necklace
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 in her life.
Once I asked her, why don’t you

what about those matching jewelry gifts
Police detectives were working on a cold case file.
Debbie had been missing for thirty-two years.
They described the charm bracelet she had been wearing.
Nanette, a girl one state away got out her charm bracelet.
Her father had given it to her on one of his business trips.
Scotty dog – check, cheerleader megaphone- check,
Christian fish symbol – check,

An Open Shut Case
I was an experienced interior designer, whose specialty was outer doors,
Ever opening to amber sunshine, as petals open, when vivid beams pour.
Functionality and beauty were very vital, so I helped customers each day,
To choose materials, colors and styles, like modish spring's latest display.
I adored inspecting the final product, and its impact on the whole house;
As

Sea Pebbles
Gardens of sea pebbles
glistening 'neath the moon,
shining their finest glow,
ride the tide as it slinks
away in ebbing flow.
Gardens of sea pebbles,
bright with seafloor colors,
mingle with calm sea life
that hug nocturnal shores
beside Poseidon's wife.
Gardens of sea pebbles
bead chains of jewelry
sparkling with waning waves
that cleanses their design
in gems that garner raves.
Gardens of sea pebbles
vibrant as the youthful
Goddess

A Day at the Jewelry Exhibit
Another day, another protest; who can count them all
This one in Vicenza, Italy, near a jewelry mall
Where Israeli exhibitors dared to show their faces
Trying to attract buyers in public, of all places…
Pro-Palestine marchers turned aggressive, then violent

black diamonds arrived on asteroids
black diamonds are different than white ones
They did not form inside the earth
They arrived here on asteroids
They are from outer space
register ten on the Mohs hardness scale
and deflect negativity from the wearer

bracelet
Was it fashioned by Navajo?
I do not know, I said. But I love it.
Maybe it is Hopi, grandfather suggested.
Or Zuni.
It doesn’t matter to me, I told him.
I absolutely love it.
I would love it more if I knew, he said.
Why does he have to love it? It is mine.

were the gemstones real?
The necklace practically threw itself into my path
I kept coming back to take another look at it
It was absolutely gorgeous! Were the gemstones real?
I put a bid on it, but lost. But never forgot it.
It was a beauty!

One More Peek
Interesting to me that red coral looks so beautiful next to Turquoise
They go hand in hand like grass and trees and ducks and ponds
I kept going back to take one more peek
Just buy it! My girlfriend urged me.
I truly did want it, but I had already bought so much for myself.
You deserve it! My inner

Ancient Jewelry
In galleries of ancient art
Were cases filled with rings
And necklaces and bracelets,
Maybe meant for wives of kings.
Or possibly for normal folk,
For lots were made of clay,
Ceramic beads not different from
What might be worn today.
Though I couldn’t own these pieces
Made in ancient Greece or Rome,
I could pay them homage with
A little mention in a poem.
