I'd like to start with this poem by Mark. It is one that stood out to me because it says so much in so few words. Also, it never actually mentions gold (which was the prompt) or what the objects ("them") actually are, and yet both are clear to the reader.  It's a lovely poem, and a very clever answer to the April 9th prompt.  I have read it over several times and like it more with each read.

If I took them all
and melted them
down
they would never
weigh as much
on a scale
as they do
on my heart-
these simple
bands
from complex
hands.
