(Now, I'm not a poet by any means. I can't rhyme words very well because I always seem to pick the wrong words to try to rhyme, and sometimes I dislike the structure of poems...however, there are times I just can't help but write one! I've no idea what you call this type of poem. Maybe free verse?)

All the treasure
In the earth
Gold and jewels

Nothing will last
At a touch
Crumble into dust

Gold turns dull
Silver will tarnish
Jewels to sand

All the treasure
On the earth
Green growing things

Nothing will last
Heat and wind
Wilt it away

Flower's perfume fades
