Moonlight glistens on new fallen snow
A blanket of diamonds it will show
Sunlight sprinkles the ocean with
Yellow Sapphires and Aquamarine
Lush meadows come alive in shades of
Peridot, Garnet and Jade Green
A rose is but a Ruby on a slender stem
White fences trimmed with Lilacs reveal an amethyst hem
While the sky before a storm
Will turn a moonstone Grey
It can also resemble a fire opal
By the close of day
I appreciate moderate constructive criticism
