Welcome to another Free Write Friday! Today Kellie Elmore’s challenge is . . .
Word Bank: Opal, Vague, Whirl, Dream, Sheer, Conjure, Bare, Allure
With Valentine’s Day only a short time away, emotions of love and the beauty of the opal gemstone just seem to go hand-in-hand. So, thank you Kellie for your latest challenge and hopefully I live up to your expectations.
The Opal…
A gemstone of rare beauty
Alluring to the naked eye
Never vague, always unique
This surely one cannot deny
Colors of the spectrum
Whirl and twirl in the light
Conjuring bare opalescence
A dream of sheer delight
My Love…
Precious and rare in beauty
The opal of my eye
Never wispy, always strong
This no one can deny
Poignant emotions
Dance and cry with joy
Bare opalescent smiles
Readily you deploy
Happy pre-Valentine’s Day!

great poem!! I love prompt pieces–do mostof my writing from them–wish I had time to try this one.
You really need to do this! It is totally impromptu so a lot of time is not part of it! Hugs!
Love your emphasis on Opals … my favorite gemstone … now has a favored poem … thank you for writing this
Beautiful poem, Sharla! I want that ring! Sherry would flip out if she saw it! Her birthstone is opal, and we both love.
Thank you for including a link to my story!
hey… where’d my “them” go??? Musta got up too early…
Cyber ghost teasing you 🙂
beautiful my friend:)
I love opals and I really like how you work them in this poem. It was a beautiful read.
So touchy and beautiful, totally love it!
Very beautiful poem!
Sharla! Oh my gosh, I adore this! Your imagery is bright and beautiful! Love how you used the words! Nicely done. Thank you for the contribution! xoxxo
Pretty!
A delightful dance of beauty and love in your words this week, thank you…
Lovely Sharla! The overall emphasis on one word “opal” and how all else describes creates a visually stunning image in the mind!
Hmmmm…. love that right… even though I have to admit the sapphire is still my favorite gemstone. 🙂
I am definitely partial to the Linde Star sapphire!
