Impressed by the amethyst.
My birthstone
grins in violet,
not shyly
but glaringly
bold…
tipsies things
’til stirred;
leaps on toes
from magenta paths
to magic carpets
flying!
Am I this
amethyst?
I’m trying.

Love these lines: “…pirouettes
from magenta paths
to magic carpets…”
What a great idea – to link your birthstone with your personality.

Joy Acey encouraged me to add alliteration, use less words, and end with a rhyme.
What a boost! Grateful for the collaboration. It works with Joy every time!

No doubt numerologists would have a ball with your bday this year:
2/13/13
Mine is 2/5/13!
OMG that totals 20!!!
Numbers are as magical as poetry!
