Crystalline
by Mehrina B. (Age: 13)

  Crystalline
Picture Credits:

When the pearl of one life drops,
A new diamond arises.
It’s a miraculous cycle of
The twinkling gems of lifetimes.

Those sparkles of life;
Aquamarines, rubies, gold,
And a spot of silver.
They all have their own dreams.

They are privileged
To realize and fulfill them all,
And they live their life in luster.
Though, not all are as fortunate

There are those rare moonstones,
The purest ones of all.
And for that, they are left with no choice
But to hang alone.

Hang in the cold wind of fate
In which they have no path,
But that long, lone stretch of garnet
Leading to the pit of steel jaws

Made to corrupt their light.
And that pit has swallowed so many
Pure moonstones who were so good
At heart, at soul, at mind.

Only a frail, narrow bridge of
Shimmering opal
May reach out in the darkness
To help a friend.

It is for my true friend
I vow to help and support;
All through our lives,
I will build a bridge of opal.

So that she may see
Anywhere she wishes,
Anywhere that is beyond
That soul-consuming darkness.

That fate was never meant for her.
It was never meant for anybody.
Those moonstones who shine so bravely
Will be saved.

Saved by their friends
As I will save mine,
And she will save hers
That’s what friends are for.

That's what I vow to be
For my dearest friend.
She will come to a day
When all will be crystals.

I will see to that
For my friend, she who is
Stronger than diamond,
Pure as moonstone.

The opal bridge
Shall support us both.
It's called
Friendship

Another inspired piece of poetry from someone who seems to have a talent for writing it. It has been awhile since I have read any poetry of yours. From the look of things, it is another solid effort on your part. Now where to begin?


The friendship motif is apparent from the start and is strong throughout the work. I also like your use of precious gems to describe the type of life some lead: somehow it seems appropriate considering the title and graphic of the poem. Such seemingly small touches mean a lot for those who value a good all-around work, and though I am not a master poet, I appreciate the skill of others. The value and power of friendship is best described in your words as "the opal bridge." A bridge made of a precious gem that can bridge any gap... an original touch.

If there is any criticism at all that I can offer, it is that in the middle it shifts from a light, reflective mood to a somber one. Perhaps you could elaborate a bit more about the moonstones that go off the path. What exactly happens to these moonstones? Perhaps it is for effect, so my criticism may seem pointless. However, that is the only real criticism that I could offer.

Overall, another good job from a skilled writer. Keep up the good work!

Hey Mehrina! I'm back!!
Anyway, I LOVE this poem! I like how you compared lives to different gems =]
I also like how the poem shifts from being about different people, to friendship.
It's great! =]

I'm so honored! I'm really glad you feel this way too, you sure said it a lot poetically! I said it with numerous bad rhymes, curses, and rather crude comparisons, and you were able to say it clearly in analogies normal people understand! Well...maybe normal people wouldn't understand, if an abnormal person like me did! I'm really honored to be called your best friend, I suppose it's time I submit the other poem to you I wrote. :) Thanks for lowering the age rating too. ;) I did that once, we all forget to take it off 18+ sometimes! Really great work, I hope you enjoy the poem I'm going to submit tonight. :)
