Ancient Jewelry

In galleries of ancient art

Were cases filled with rings

And necklaces and bracelets,

Maybe meant for wives of kings.

 

Or possibly for normal folk,

For lots were made of clay,

Ceramic beads not different from

What might be worn today.

 

Though I couldn’t own these pieces

Made in ancient Greece or Rome,

I could pay them homage with

A little mention in a poem.
