Short Jades Poems

Caught in the facets of a broken bottle
sunlight splinters dangle from its edge
holding fast its beauty
jagged japes of jabbing jades
bitfrost of a broken bottle...

 pair of amber jades
set in glistening black foil~
rats scurry in fear

Jades of green, yellow and white; 
the colors of life grow warm against the skin.

Precious gems of the lands minerals; 
coveted by any, Jade is the stone of emperors;  
lends a classy aire to any occasion and 
a warm, rich presence to its wearer.

the contrast made by sky of blue
to snowy rocks and hills so green
of shadowed jades on water’s hue
the peaceful scenes reflect serene
while friends lie sunning side by side
neither wind, nor wave, nor moving tide

GREEN

          Green planet named Mother Earth.
          Going the hues on leaves in many shades.
          Grass in big mass growing in mirth.
          Glossy sparkling gemstones are jades.
          Greenish glowing vast wide ocean.
          Greener can go revolution.
         Greenest is the heart from the birth.

Sunny days; bringing, aesthetically soothing jades
Towns spring to life, with congruent daily parades
Simply enjoying life, in its moments and decades;
Words following free; in poetically wild chardes
A deck of playing cards filled with hearts; and no spades
When the evening sets its sight the joy, it still never degrades
Fulfilling; is discovering; when happiness, promenades...

Listen to poem:

Two emeralds; copper eyes, fixated on the Atlantic
The Hudson; jades woke by fairies to her feet, so frantic
My view; is vantage, a little island on pillars, so historic
Gotham the east connection; of an oasis oh so prolaphoric
The horse shoe; welcomes performances theatric
Paths of endless connections; made by cobblestone brick
A Metropolis candle; burning at both ends of the wick
Melting pots of humanity; formed, a narrow wax stick...
