The Green Emerald

I will cross the many rivers And journey over those damn places where the ground keeps sloping up My toes will be as sore as they need to Because everything depends on finding A rare, green emerald. And when I get it I will feel happy.

I erm, don't really get this, either as a story or as a poem.

straight talking. this site needs more. i hate, i mean love, to nitpick, so i would lose the and on the last line. i think that will separate it from what precedes and give you more impact at the end.

ruella.....none of your poetry makes sense to me. "my toes will be as sore as they need to/because everything depends on finding/a rare, green emerald" it's just so freaking stupid

beg pardon? I liked the imagery until I got to the emerald.. what's the point? that an emerald is the key to your happiness? if that's so, you're just demonstrating the worst shallowness I've evern seen..

Is seeking or fnding the green emerald the better ? You decide.
