Mum’s Earrings are like Sweets:
cubed crystals
jewelled jubes
globes of glass, glazed and glittering
sweet shiny beads
fruit and flowers
icing dusted
fancy frosted
golden, glistening,
good enough to eat
Mum’s earrings are like sweets:
colourful
and tempting
jewelled jubes
globes of glass, glazed and glittering
sweet shiny beads
fruit and flowers
icing dusted
fancy frosted
golden, glistening,
good enough to eat
Mum’s earrings are like sweets:
colourful
and tempting
