THE
NECKLACE
My children
Made a necklace,
For me,
Pearl-white and green.
And ev’ry jewel
Sat right a top
On stems, of earth,
Quite lean.
The stems they
Held the pearls
Pronged in by
Emerald jewel,
A prodigy
Of balance
Above the blades
They rule.
Each jewel,
So cotton-soft,
Exudes a scent
All over.
Pearl and
Emerald, necklace?
The miracle
Of clover!
