The Heirloom
Polished love
Timeworn from living
Passion red
Serene blue
Worn and frayed; value intact
Treasured legacy
by Margaret Bednar
This is a "shadorma" poem - syllable count is 3-5-3-3-7-5 and no rhyming. (my kind of poem as rhyming is not something that comes easily to me) This is a kaleidoscope, but it reminded me of an old ring I saw in a vintage store recently. It didn't fit my fingers.
Please visit "Magpie Tales" to see close to 100 poetic responses to the above photo.
I am back (and tired) from a wonderful vacation with five of my children. We visited Charleston, SC, Hilton Head, and Savannah GA. The photos and history I can't wait to share with you.

"value intact". love it.
A few years ago I found a vintage necklace with colors very similar to the kaleidoscope... love how you remembered the ring that wouldn't fit and the unique poem you wrote about it.
I love what you're doing with words and I love that photo to go with your poem! I'm looking forward to your photos and background stories of Charleston!
Love that one today. You did an amazing job!!
You just visited 3 places I have already seen but not well, Maragret, so I expect to see great, new images to educate me. In the meantime, I love your kaleidescope!
Gemstones do indeed resemble kaleidoscopes with the fire within their centers...
I love the notion of love being an heirloom.
As always, wonderfully interpreted!
You are truly so talented!
