Dear Pet Rock,

    Dear Pet Rock,

    Your colors are like mine
    Dark, fading layers of rusted orange
    Encircle your sparkling
    And cloudy core.
    Your most outward layer disfigured and worn
    From acid words and extreme climates
    Known to turn from hot to cold to hot
    Again in a drop of boiling rain,
    In the curvy smiles on their
    Knowing faces.

    I’m sorry I diverted parent’s
    Detesting, blazing eyes to you
    That burned those holes
    Millimeter by painful millimeter.

    My devoted hand will protect you.
    Your infected core will be
    Shined clear with refreshing peroxide,
    Your red skin will be the
    Radiant hue of a perpetual sunrise
    Reemerging each dawn
    For the lucky to see.

    "Radiant hue of a perpetual sunrise"...beautiful. Nice to see somone who realizes not all poems have to rhyme in order to flow.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
