Kyanite
My cat's eye
blinks silver and blue
flashes sapphire
in the light
polished luster
wards off evil
they say. All I know
is this striped gem,
cold and smooth,
reminds me of you.

Linked with Poetry Jam "Your Stripes, My Stripes". HERE is a beautiful pendant made from Kyanite. Not a cat's eye, thought. For that beautiful cut click HERE.
The above photo I took while touring a museum in the Appalachian Mountains. - although I really don't think that is where this inexpensive gem is found...

it is really pretty!
Kyanite is beautiful! And I DO see that the coloration would be similar to that of a cat's eye!
Thanks for your support of Poetry Jam. That means a lot. Smiles.
Well done.
Wonderful poem and photo. You have such a great photographic eye. The twist at the end of the poem is particularly effective!
Pretty write, Margaret!
Wow, Margaret... amazing ending.
You give us a good look at what should be valued, and why. BTW... you may enjoy the International Gem & Mineral Show that takes place in Tucson every February. Biggest in the world!
This is when I have a hankering to polish stones! I think that would be such a fun hobby, don't you?! :)
