Green does not describe
this shining softness—jade—
Darker veins
divide but also unify,
paint designs,
spread delicate threads outwards—
The edge curves softly,
only barely jagged—
The shape, round, graceful
is a study of symmetry and perfection—
Caressing a flower,
supporting her in her languishing beauty,
the leaf joins to a slender stem.

Hi Rose,

I think this is quite beautiful...the description is exquisite. Nice work.

well done indeed.
the imagery is beautiful.  well described.
there is only a small punctuation issue i have with this.
it follows the line
"paint designs,
spread delicate threads outwards-"
that comma is really not needed in that phrase because it all flows together so there is no need for a break.
other than that.
beautiful.
always.
