Zirconium, Vanadium, Ruthenium, Oh My

PAD Challenge day 5

For today’s prompt, pick an element (like from the periodic table), make it the title of your poem (or part of the title), and then, write the poem. 

The poet prefers worlds

Where war of words attract

Then let the scientist

Explore

The core of -ium fact

The sky is full of gold

The vale, pale amethyst

And when midnight

Is bright with moon

The world is silver-kissed

The earth is like a vault

We scale, scavenge and dredge

We climb a clime

Of emerald

To sit upon time's ledge

Imbibed by common grace

We, common, mortal man

Inhale, exhale

A miracle

Of immaculate plan

The Artist that ordained

The law of gravity

Maintains the wonder

Of it all

In flawless symmetry

The needy deeds of we

With greedy ignorance

Have vexed,

But cannot mastermind 

His kind Omnipotence
