Fundy's cobblestone shore:
granite, quartz, basalt
ground handsize
is smooth and pure
Years by the thousands, millenniums sure,
the bay's eroded jasper, garnet, porphyry
sandstone, feldspar and crystal
the rarer, the more true
Fundy's shore:
a rockhound's tumbler
the salvagers' delight
be it pot warp, driftwood or shell
The prize though
is beach glass
nothing aluminum, plastic or similarly obscene but
beach glass sublime
Beach glass can be red, yellow or blue:
amethyst, amber, and turquoise are rarer:
the gems though are apple to deep green
and the lapis of that sometime medicine cabinet staple
