Sunshine Challenge Day Five: Bloodstone

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

Bloodstone: Colour Poem

green jasper with inclusions of red hematite
sweet ornamental bridge; picturesque wooden arch
chance splatter, bright droplets against darkest context
garden berries for birds and playing tea party
determined thud of sturdy boots on solid planks
rumbling, tumbling, grumbling of polishing barrel
sudden rustle-swish of forest interloper
hard, splintered, at stern angles, flecks of chemicals
cool, engraving, inviting intaglio
bitter burn upon curious, dared and daring, tongues
nature’s velvet with spider veins of unstitched seams
smooth, inviting anxious rubbing, rubbing, rubbing
pebbles crushed between tiny fingers, tiny beaks
stone of Babylon, heliotrope, and bloodstone

Oh, this is beautiful - so vivid! I can practically feel the stones.
