Flint
An emerald is as green as grass,
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A ruby red as blood;
A sapphire shines as blue as heaven;
A flint lies in the mud.
A diamond is a brilliant stone,
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds a fire.
To catch the world's desire;
An opal holds a fiery spark;
But a flint holds a fire.
Let's see what similies you can come up with...
PS: Here's a big hello to Ilias at his new school in Toronto and to Erfan in Bangladesh! Feel free to jump in with a poem! We miss you both! :)
