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.
To have two additional views on these topics is wonderful. Great job, Tom
Thanks Kelly. It's great fun. I think rocks was prob the hardest subject.. bit Granite like! Tom
