Rare enough, rarer indeed to Match stone to heredity, but how to hold? So he crafted silver thread’s sinew For gem so rare, for wife so bold Gemini ‘twas her fate to be A changeling extraordinaire, Naught but alexandrite stone, the Candle colored red from day’s blue-green fare She wore it plain upon her breast It chameleon’d thus with simplicity, Sun shone ocean’s blue-green’s crest Candle’s light reddened with felicity Thus fair maid wore an emerald by day By night, vixen saw ruby’s passionate play.

Oh My...... this is wonderous. I's perfect! Well Done. I have an alexandrite ring (purchased it when I was in LA) it's my birthstone and it does exactly that ...changes from green to blue to red. It's beautiful just like your poem Karilea. Keeping this. Maree |

Was this scintillating poem a self-portrait? Appreciative hugs, EA P.S. I keep forgetting to mention how much I love this photo of you! I can see the looks of the innocent and the siren in those coquettish eyes of yours!  |

This is beautiful, Karilea! A changeling extraordinaire, Naught but alexandrite stone, the Candle colored red from day’s blue-green fare How I love vignettes... I loved this Hugs, Marie "You can be idealistic for all of ten seconds before you die." (Imitation of Life) |

Karilea, though I still haven't figured out what a vignette, this is beautiful..... I especially like this ending.  Hugs Ethel |

Oh my goodness - do I love this one! This could be about me did you know that? I am the changling that is for sure, and alexandrite is my birthstone as is a pearl. I printed it - on the wall it goes. |

Ethel....A Vignette according to the Oxford Dictionary.... "A short description, a character sketch; like a photograph" and as Karilea explained to me "they're snippets of thought" "We must be able to see it" one day when my muse quits playing hide-and-go-seek I shall write one too! hugs Maree |
