Green Copper

Polishing my Champion's trophy
Jealousy, making me grow Green
Like copper now jaded by glory
My name should be in engraving
Yet kept inside pyrite pouting
When pounding the ground while
Shouting at clouds with silver
Linings, telling me I Am still
Great, I just lack good timing

Polishing the chapions’ trophy

Jealousy making me grow green

Like copper – becoming jaded glory

My name should be in this engraving

Yet all I am left with is pyrite pouting

Shouting at clouds with silver linings

Telling me I Am still great – just lack timing


Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Jaded glory

  1. Though, we are all great in our own way, sometimes we miss the mark. But who set the the parameters? Perhaps, it wasn’t meant to be. Brilliant piece, my friend.
