8 Ways of Looking at a Ring Poem

8 ways of Looking at a Ring

1
It shines in the sun
With its glossy surface.
Beauty can be found
Many places, but none
So unique
As a ring.

2
The store didn’t have
The right size
But you still bought it.
It’s always lost,
Falling off, Clang!
On the floor.

3
A circle.
Never ending or beginning,
Just sitting on you finger.
Simplicity
It’s only thought.

4
On some you find
Many,
Others only wear
One,
It’s all they need.

5
Its arm forever
Clinging onto
Your finger for
Dear life.

6
They sit through
The pain
Of engravings,
So then they can
Feel
Like they mean
Something
To you.

7
Its shape defines
An eternity.
Placed on a fourth finger,
It happily binds
A man and woman.

8
You feel it,
Follow it,
With your
Fingers. There is
No ending,
No opening.
It never ends.
It is
Forever.
