If I had a shop
I would fill all the shelves
With amethyst angels
And emerald elves,
Black onyx panthers
With rubies for eyes,
Lithe topaz fairies
As blue as the skies.
I’d have cool turquoise turtles,
Buddhas of jade,
And solid gold snails
With diamonds in-laid.
There’d be tiger’s eye lions
And quartz crystal cats,
Peridot puppies
And sapphire bats.
Yes, if I had a shop
I would light up the scene
With a great chandelier
Made of aquamarine.

Wow! This is a wonderful poem. I wish it were in one of those school readers. Is there such a thing now in American schools? Perhaps in Canada? Well I think your poem sparked with imagination. πβ¨
