Eyes of emerald green
Wading pools
Surface so serene
Rippling undertow unseen

Eyes of emerald green
Wading pools
Surface so serene
Rippling undertow unseen
The prompt is “emerald escape” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 13, National Poetry Month 2022.

Created from unlikely conditions
Her rarity is assured
Visible fractures and inclusions are
Evidence of distress and legacy
Contributing to her unique
Multifaceted formation
Hard yet fragile
Teeming with life renewed
Destined to perpetual rebirth
