Nugget
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 away.
Oh, I could watch them all day long,
These fragile wings,

Nugget
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 me
could be the best thing I ever had

The Golden Nugget
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 dark purple wings grabbing the sunlight.
I miss my usual waitress,

A Nugget of Wisdom
Better it is for one's soul

A billion in gold bars he to

Nugget
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
Marked for life, no one exempt
Folly fires to polarize
Collared painful revelry
No

Nugget of Gold
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 floor
I woke up to the sound of your body leaving

Golden Waterfall
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 singing;
On a hill, wolves were howling.
Near a river, a deer

Golden Nugget
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

Golden Nugget
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 and cleaning his area. Started leaving class 30 minutes

Nugget For Humility
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 pre-eminence of Christ while He increases as I decrease.
I pledge

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,
mingled with the odor of

Nugget Twins
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 tempt his fate
The KFC commercials make them cry!

Nature's Nugget
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.”
‘Catch me’ cried the crab
“Nature – God’s treasure none can grab
What’s
