Description Gold is gold is silver is bronze,
Tarred, feathered, floured,
Dented, bludgeoned, smote,
Eroded by rain, wind, poison,
In every year, decade, century,
Smeared with mud, dirt, sand,
Exchanged by hand, stolen, lost,
Vaulted in steel, crushed, cursed,
First to last, stays last of all,
Gold to silver to bronze to dust.

I tried reading the poem out loud... Is the flow alright?

Very nice! To me, this is saying how money corrupts; could be wrong of course!!
But very creatively written!!

I love the flow of the poem and how you expressed the evanescence of everything.
The photgraph is great, too

I'll also feature this as my favourite from the group on 's blog

this picture is really beautiful
I like how there is really only one non-blurry,
the dust makes everything look ancient and like this happens over and over,
the poem really fits it,
very nice!

niiice! the only line i thought seemed alittle out of place is the 3rd one. it feels like it's missing a syylable but if you added "too" it would mess up the rest of the poem so just keep it as is
