My Opal Necklace
By Phoebe S
My opal necklace, the source of my life.
It brings me back forever-lost memories.
The way it smells, like the rusty
silver that comes from the bottom of
the dark blue ocean.
Or even the way it feels, like the
Hawaiian blasting chilly breeze with
specks of white that give me
a spark of energy.
My opal necklace is the far-
-away deepening ocean that is
filled with the crowding turquoise
coral reef that gives earth its beauty.
It reminds me of the time in Hawaii
riding the sapphire waves
that crash onto the beach like galloping horses.
