Bejewelled in a poem written by Lynn White and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme The Best Bad Idea for the month off January

Bejewelled

This little piece of gold

will not be enough

to feed the fruit

of my swelling belly.

And it will take bigger scales

to weigh out the quantities

we will need to survive.

But I still have jewels to sell

and I think they will be

enough.

I shall weigh them carefully.

It’s in the balance

but I think there will be

enough.
