Stones

Embellished is the crown I wear
with jewels uncovetted
And-- its shine a dullard's sheen
to those who lust for rubies
Graceless stone, oh-- fragile stone!
less charming than the pearl
encrusted on my foremind is;
its exterior-- of dust!

Ruby-- Topaz-- Emerald gem
What fine pendants you make!
Let us split such charms in two
And-- what's this?--
red-- yellow-- green
