Poems About Silver
Linings
Author: B. Kline
Amidst the clouds of darkest gray,
A glimmer shines, a silver ray.
It guides us through the stormy night,
And brings a hope that all will be alright.
For every cloud that blocks the sun,
A silver lining can be won.
It reminds us to keep moving on,
And that the day will soon be dawn.
So when the winds of life are fierce,
And troubles seem to never cease,
Remember that a silver lining,
Is always there, a source of peace.
It may not take the pain away,
But it will light the path to a brighter day.
So hold on tight, and don't give in,
For the silver lining's always waiting to begin.
Birch Tree
Author: I. Chapman
The silver birch, so tall and fair,
With bark so white, it shines like air.
It stands so proud, against the sky,
A beacon bright, that never dies.
Its leaves are green, and light as well,
They flutter soft, like a fairy's spell.
And in the fall, when colors change,
It's golden hues, are truly grand.
It's branches thin, yet strong and true,
Reaching out, to touch the blue.
It's roots so deep, they reach the earth,
A symbol of, unending worth.
The silver birch, a sight so grand,
A natural work, so finely planned.
A symbol of, resilience and grace,
A tree we'll treasure, in any place.
Element
Author: F. Chen
Silver, shining bright and pure,
A metal of beauty, that will endure.
It glows in the moonlight, like a star,
A symbol of wealth, from near and far.
It's used in coins and jewelry,
To adorn, and add a touch of luxury.
In photography, it captures light,
Preserving memories, so clear and bright.
It's strong, yet malleable too,
A versatile element, that's here to stay.
It's found in nature, deep in mines,
A precious metal, that's hard to find.
Silver, a symbol of wealth and power,
A metal that will shine for hours.
It's beauty and value, will never fade,
An enduring element, that's here to stay.
Moon
Author: I. Baxter
The silver moon, so round and bright,
Shines down on us, in the still of night.
It casts a glow, upon the land,
A peaceful light, that guides our hand.
It's a symbol of magic and mystery,
A celestial wonder, for all to see.
It's phases, a reminder of time,
A constant companion, through all life's climb.
In the dark of the night, it's a beacon of hope,
A shining light, that helps us cope.
It's beauty, a reminder of the grand,
A cosmic wonder, that we'll always have at hand.
The silver moon, a sight to behold,
A symbol of the secrets yet untold.
It's light will shine, forevermore,
A celestial wonder, we'll always adore.
Sword
Author: Y. Maddox
The silver sword, so sharp and bright,
A weapon of legend, a fearsome sight.
It's forged in fire, with skill and care,
A tool of battle, that's beyond compare.
It's hilt is adorned, with precious stones,
A symbol of power, that's rarely known.
It's blade is long, and slender too,
A weapon that's deadly, yet elegant too.
With every swing, it cuts the air,
A sound that echoes, everywhere.
It's wielded by, a brave and true,
A warrior, that's battle-tested too.
The silver sword, a symbol of might,
A weapon of legend, that shines so bright.
It's wielded by the brave, the strong,
A tool that's needed, to right the wrong.
