Listen to poem:

birds of tropics
spread your wings
with divine grace
and vivid color

come to life
free your gleeful
cries of bounty
in lavish sea of
vibrant greens

closest thing
to paradise

Sunday sunrise
breaking through
bay window
coffee brewing
the aroma inebriating
crossword puzzle
pencil in hand
and in the kitchen
dreamy wafts
of costa rica java
mingling with 
perfumes of 
strawberries
and waffles

A Chemical Compound
in an orderly manner.
They're found on the ground,
classified by a scanner.

An outcrop in Costa-Rica -
many of these contain Silica.
Some are even Volcanic-
explosions are quite manic.

Its just like Me and You!
Special, Unique and some blue.
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic too-
I've heard that before, like de-ja vu!

It is Sharp or Smooth,
It is like a Bone,
It can be found in a Booth,
But what really is STONE?
