Gemstone
Ruthless Red
And infinite beauty
Planted deep in the ground
A pretty rock or a gorgeous gem?
A ruthless red that will condemn
Sapphire
Blissful Blue
Bountiful as the sea
A gem born from water
A gem bought for a daughter
Quartz
Quaint Quartz
Clear as the sky
Simple as can be
Complex with every color
Diamond
The most pretty
The most valuable
Deemed the best
A symbol of eternal love
Pulled out of the dirty ground
With a shovel and glove
This Poems Story
I decided you write a poem about gems and jewelry after being recommended an ad for rings and diamonds. I was appalled by the price of even the cheapest rings available.
