The catalyst beyond compare
Amongst the rarest on the Earth
Some asteroids have brought their share
What is it worth?
Unmarked by any acid stains
This noble metal's always white
When gold has melted she remains
Pure silver white
Not soft to touch wrought gold
But hard unyeilding diginity
To hold a diamond rare and bold
Not let it free
A ring that never wears away
And will not bend when crushed or hit
It symbolises love to stay
And never split
The smallest piece is worth a mint
And yet I know that what I'd do
Abandon it at any hint
To just hold you

Aw; this is very sweet Jeff. I like that you discuss Pt 's properties in relationship to love & marriage. I especially like that you bring up the fact that it's a catalyst; increasing a reaction (maybe blooming love) but not, itself, being consumed in the process, so, love that doesn't wain. What a great quality. And it's resistance to chemicals is used well in relation to it's jewelry usage; but as to uncorrupted love. A great piece.
Thank you for entering *& g'luck!

LMAO, isn't the title genius?

It's not genius, it's the metal's elemental symbol,
. But I do like it; for obvious reasons.

Love your title, and Ptolema will probably appreciate it as well.
Kind of amazing that you could write five stanzas about a periodical table's element and make it non-boring. (:
Very very groovy...good luck
