Silver (well more like gray) , and long, is what my hair’s become, <br />and in a silver sauce pan, filled with boiling rice, I see a patch of scum. <br />Silver bells are “ringing” in a Christmas holiday season song, <br />and Silver’s the medal won by the Olympic weight lifter, who is second-most strong. <br /> <br />A silver wedding anniversary is one I’ve not reached (yet) , though I worked that long at one job, <br />and silver is a metal sometimes used, to create a fancy pocket watch fob. <br />Silverware is what I usually use to eat my meal, but my wife sometimes uses chopsticks, <br />and a silver bullet may be used to keep a vampire.....from performing HER tricks. <br /> <br />A Silver Maple is an attractive tree with leaf parts more-narrow than some, <br />and sometimes a wealthy person is born with a “silver spoon in his mouth”; not so with a bum. <br />Silver was the name of The Lone Ranger’s TV horse when I was a kid, <br />and silver, and gold, and jewels are among the treasures pirates sometimes hid. <br /> <br />“Silver” has filled many a decayed hole, in many a dental patient’s teeth, <br />and mercury is the silvery liquid metal in a thermometer, which goes underneath....(a tongue) . <br />A silver-tongued orator (speaking of tongues) is one who can make a convincing speech, <br />and in an old song is the “silvery moon”, which to me is out of reach. <br /> <br />I could go on about a Silver Certificate, now called a “Federal Reserve Note”, <br />but my ship is sailing to a silver strand, and I don’t want.....to miss the boat. <br /> <br />(December 2012)<br /><br />Bri Edwards<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/silver-various-uses-of-the-word-silver-a-medium-length-rhyming-poem/
