A ring is a piece of jewelry.
Behind it, there is a story.
Definitely no tomfoolery.
Sparkling in its glory.
The jewelry is impressive
It wasn't the joint.
Believing it's expensive
Was that the point?
Jewelry is symbolic of their love.
Promises made with their vows.
Rings fit like a glove.
Their love promise allows.
The years come and go.
With each anniversary a kiss.
A promise long ago.
It wasn't hit or miss.
A promise.
A ring.
A vow.
Love keeps on growing somehow.
Writer's notes: Thank you for reading. You are appeciated. This poem was written for a Vocal Writing Prompt mini Challenge #2. Jewelry was a word prompt.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
