Addendum of Rocks And Minerals (Senryu Series) - Poem by Kelly Kurt


Amber kelly

Fossil tree resin
Rubbing gives negative charge
My blonde haired daughter

Amber wes

Orange tone colour
... Gris spat up by the sperm whales
Forever... is book

Amber tom
Just an old fossil
Our ROSE is singing model
Orange tree resin


Opal kelly

Iridescent gem
Hydrated silica form
October birthstone

Opal wes

Lapo spelt backwards
not 'other people all lie'
.... O' mine I miss you


Opal tom
Australia's Gem
Creamy white in Idaho
O'Wes, you're a real....


Coal kelly

Combustible stone
Environmental menace
Santa's punishment

Coal wes

Newcastle cargo
No longer burnt in Brit homes
....liance is group formed

Coal Tom
Mixed up fizzy drink
Your New Year greeting by hand
Old King... quite merry!

Ruby kelly

Nine on the Mohs scale
One of the four precious stones
Oz slipper color

Ruby wes

Wife of Al Jolson
....con is river Caesar crossed
Took her love to town

Ruby tom
Programming language
Pigeon blood - greatest value
The Kaiser Chiefs' song

Zircon kelly

Diamond substitute
Oldest minerals on Earth
Radioactive

Zircon wes

Orcniz anagram
Big flashy ring grandma wore
Nocriz in mirror


Zircon tom
Green much sought after
Another find down Under
Zi corn? Did you say?

Granite kelly

Continental crust
Durable countertop rock
Used for curling stones

Granite wes

Force to live with old lady
Street that we used to live on
Things are taken for...


Granite tom
Tearing it around
Aberdeen is made of it
Two handles. Lost stones!


Marble kelly

Metamorphic stone
Mark of an excellent steak
Sculptor's medium

Marble wes

Object of child's game
What we sometimes think we lose
Arch in London town


Marble tom
Carrara quarries
Arch once hang-out in London
It's Pink in Georgia


Limestone kelly

Sedimentary
Ancient marine skeletons
Not a citrus fruit


Limestone wes

Difficult to pit
Of less value than rhinestone
Marking Harry's grave


Limestone tom
I'll bone up on that.
Underground caverns, close by.
Get that theme, young Wes.
