Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #511
The Ring You Gave Me by Belinda Roddie The ring you gave me now no longer fits, and so I have attached it to a chain to wear around my neck. Though I do miss the warmth of the band on my weathered skin, I like it when the sun hits it just right because the gemstones light up and make my chest look like a rainbow firework. Night falls, and still, the jewels will catch the eye of the moon, and I become green and gold and purple and red and blue without me even trying. I heard that you had told a friend you'd buy me a new ring, but see, I don't need one - not from you, anyway. This symbol of our love is good to stay.
