Ruby birth,
silver death,
Kisses of amber,
and seemingly golden love.
Crystal promises
of diamond deception,
Bronze bait
for onyz enslavement.
Opal eternity in faux love.
Author notes
Hmmm... The image made me think of gemstones, so this was the result. I would love constructive critsism and suggestions.

Amazizing!!
I loved this poem! It flowed beautifully when you read it in writer's club! The only thing wrong with it is your spelling of the word 'onyx'. Haha! Sorry to be THAT GUY. Your word choice is wonderful. It seems carefully, yet gracefully put.

Loved the use of ruby, silver, 'crystal promises of diamond deception' 'Faux love' brilliant Lib x

A very 'charming' poem that I believe is about the deceptiveness of jewels and gems as substitutes for authentic love. your imagery is both clear-cut and elusive, similar to gemstones themselves, and your poem was a delight to read. Best of luck in my contest.

Very vivid word use and imagery. Not only as the picture prompt had the mirror but also the dragon in the image, it is very evocative of precious metals and stones. Dragons in particular have always visually been remeniscent of this, with their scales like armour and eyes like jewels.
Good write (wish it was longer though).

Gorgeous, Charm. The image made you think of gems, your poem made me think of Bloodstone. Lovely imagery, darling.
