The Topaz

Prompt from Mindlovemisery's Menagerie

shared with Poets United

I was the topaz

between two diamonds

a Poe-ish love

Paris was a dream

talked of in tree houses

on rainy days

The passion of young love

the sadness of loss

could be tasted

in our tiptoed kiss

and then

I moved away

Haiku In Honor

“Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.”  Terry Pratchett, The Truth.

“Embracing the Light

Collected bits of truth

Shimmering sparks

Shards of light

Merge

Healing

Restoring

Bursting Bright

Rising

in divine ecstatic flame.”

― Leonard Nimoy

Haiku For Two

The tulip caught drops
Rearranging them quickly
Having more to prove.
~
Dance in wild flowers
Shimmering truth heals
Divine flames rising

I'm thinking I should give this up, folks!

Diamond Failure!

but I got rocks and you KNOW I am happy with any rocks!!!!  We've had hours of digging, we've eaten out way too often, and I argued with the rock identifier of the park.  It has been GREAT.

"Signs, signs

every where signs..

do this, don't do that...

Can't you read the signs?"

Okay, a first...SHOES and SOCKS!

These are the rocks

I could not 

take with me.

We found a wonderful variety of rocks including jasper, mica, crystals, lamproite, banded agate, quartz, calcite, barite and hematite and one special sample Toni named the Arkansas Guinea stone. 

We may not be the front page news of the next record diamond finders but we had fun.  After all, that is what's important.

Friday...

The ice was not a big surprise but a few trees went down, a few limbs lost but the power held.  That is always good.  School started two hours later and buses did not travel the gravel roads.

Hubby and I ran errands.  He drove or should I say flew?  These were the best shots I could get traveling at almost the speed of light.

The ice made the plain brown trees look like they belonged in a magical kingdom where unicorns and fairies were the norm.

It was a flying trip, no leisure stops to see what we could see.  We did stop for lunch.  Visited the discount bakery and found some fattening bargains.  We found cheaper diesel for the tractor.  We found cheaper feed for the cattle.  We found two new holsters for our conceals.  We declared it a successful day.

Flew home again.

The ice was beginning to fall from the trees.  The rest will leave today.

Happy weekend to every one.
