In The Necklace Of The Cloisonne Rose (Reposted) Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

in the necklace of the cloisonne rose
a few blue stars appeared
like sudden sapphires

so diminutive was their appearance
no one took note of this phenomenon
which scarcely could be seen

in any light
even at the most glittering parties
pack time away

all you who favor only what is writ large
for on this
as it slipped into the grass
with a faulty finely golden clasp

hinged a world.
