The Necklace Broke Poem by Rani Turton

invaluable ear rings and other ornaments depicting lifes lost invaluable matereials and relationsdhips....good metaphors..good one

Rani, this is a beutiful poem. The simplicity of it underlies a real crafted poem. The imagery of things broken yet of lesser importance. The way that we can relate through objects, but it is not the object itself but the abstraction that gives it its (non monatary) value. The almost repetition of the stanzas with slight alteration is great. It works very well for what is a moral telling poem.

what were those invaluable earrinngs so loving golden and so secretly mused into your ears long ago that enable you to forego those bits of beads and glass bits? a gold earring poem...
