Chemical Elements Poems 25: Lucky Thirteen




Lucky thirteen.
Sapphire and ruby,
foil and can,
rock and dirt.
Its decay heated
the planets.

Once deemed
suitable
for the banquets
of an emperor,
now it's used
to carry Fresca.

I'm a couple of poems behind.  I'm coming back from vacation today, hope to catch the rest of the way back up!
