Happy Poetry Friday! Last week, I shared “Get Smart With the Periodic Table,” which recently appeared in KNOW Magazine, a Canadian science magazine for kids. The theme for the issue was the elements, and here’s the other poem I had included in that issue.
Golden Possibilities
Labeled Au
Gold, assigned
Drilled out of rock
Gold, mined
Made clean and pure
Gold, refined
Mixed to make alloys
Gold, combined
Shaped into rings
Gold, designed
Buried with pharaohs
Gold, enshrined
Sunlight in metal
Gold, undefined
