Precious Peridot on The Back of Honu:

The shoreline glitters with seeds of iron crystals...

Precocious peridot,

enchanting as honu swims around coral reefs.

Sandcastles shaped,

by her sympathetic hands.

With eyes like evening emeralds;

The one with the heart of magma.

She overflows with magnetism.

Remembrance for beauty,

and strength of igneous rock,l.

Fearless, enough to part the Red Sea.

Adrift on the wave a mindful gem,

carried on the froth of the ocean.

Still precious prosperous heart of peridot washed up

on the shell of a honu.

Salt marshes

lined with red poppies

For on this day,

a tears of joy, erupted

on beds of tablelands

flows

like ashes float

in the sky.

A princess was born

With eyes as rich as the soil,

to grow succulents-

And a heart as whimsical

as feather rocks.
