Gold: A Poem by Taylor Ward, age 11

Gold is the glittering gem from the earth
It's the light in the newborn's eyes after birth
Gold is the savannah's sparkling grass
It's the blazing sun's fiery mass
Gold is the marriage surrounding a finger
Gold's majestic sparkle always will linger
Gold is the taste of the voice from your throat
It's the shiny button on a fancy coat
Gold can fill a person with dread
It's the flowers on a grave of a person's who's dead
In dark, gold can pierce through the black
But black can come back with a simple attack
Gold is the sound of horns and of pipes
It's the taste of a fresh pear that is ripe
Gold can corrupt almost anyone's mind
But luckily it's very hard to find
Gold is a color, but also can be touched
And in opinion, I like it very much
