Crown Jewels Poem by Saiom Shriver

Crown Jewels



Version 1

One day soon
the crown jewel acorns, samaras,
and beechnuts
lying on the wood's moss velvet
will be ignited by rainrods
and sunbeam sceptres.

Version 2

In many layers
of moss velvet jade
three crown jewel
apples were laid.
And now new
apple saplings
the moss helps
in appling.


Version 3

Several brown acorns fell
onto green moss
...crown jewels
on a jade velvet foil
