No gold, no silver

TSL Pandorathon 27  (Deepika KC Chand)




#Prompt: Use the synonyms of gold and silver to make a poem without using the word 'silver' and 'gold. Let's glitter and dazzle people...



In a far away galaxy

A planet imploded

Spreading around stardust

In a fireworks barely imagined

Of colours and hues

In this primeval maelstrom

An auriferous shard escaped 

The universal gravity pull 

For eons it travelled intraspace

Only to crash in our planet

Where it buried deep 

Inside its crust

In a splash of dust and particles

A seer saw it all in a vision

Prevailed on his followers

To go and dig deep

And bring him back

This wonder of nature

To make himself a parure

He said it was easy to find

As it was at the end of the rainbow

They followed rainbows 

And dug here and there

But could never find

The wonder there in 

For one does not capture

A sun bounty

When one has selfish wishes.

The seer continued 

To wear multicoloured feather coats

Dying of disappointment.
