For Sunday Stills: Yellow

Tarnished Gold

Tarnished Gold 

It’s apparent I’m replaceable. At least it is the shout
that you moved in my replacement as soon as I moved out.
I hope that you remember as you stroll down your new path
that your former roadway contains an aftermath.

The heirlooms of our marriage include three children who
don’t share my intention of divorcing you.
They need a proper father and you’re the only one
licensed to address them as daughter and as son.

On the heirloom ring you gave me on our wedding night,
the chimera of your family crest really wasn’t quite
appropriate, though made of gold polished shiny bright,
An ass head on a serpent’s body would have got it right!

 

Tenth prompt for the poetry scavenger hunt hosted by A Different Perspective. Write a Golda or incorporate words related to gold into a poem. Is it cheating that I used a poem written six years ago?

(I know gold isn’t supposed to tarnish, but apparently it sometimes does. Perhaps it wasn’t authentic in the first place?)

Gilt Trip

 

 

Not much of a “gilt” person, I searched my photo library in vain for a half hour before suddenly remembering the Opera House in Guanajuato.  Pay dirt!!!! Lots of gold.  Click on any photo to enlarge all!

For Nancy’s Prompt–“Gilded.”

“Golden Hour” A Photo a Week Challenge

On the west coast of Mexico, sunset is indeed a golden experience. I especially like the way the ocean tides reflect the colors of the sunsets.  You’ll need to click on the first photo to see these all in a larger size and in better detail.

A lady I met at Daniel’s Sunset Beach Bar was sharing this bottle of Fireball Cinnamon Whiskey. It was actually quite good in small doses, but yes, it did burn! What I was captivated by, however, was the bottle and burned-edge labels.  First of all, the dragon on the front, but when I looked at the back of the bottle, I realized that what looked like a white label with a black dragon on the back was actually a cut out on the label.  That white area and black dragon were actually on the back of the front label and we were looking through the bottle to see it.  So cool.  The bottle was almost empty so I’m wondering how it looked when viewed through a full bottle.  Guess I could add water and food coloring and see. What a unique design.  Love it.
