Marble floors

As you enter a place
and walk through the door
there’s nothing says ‘grace’
like a fine marble floor.

Plain marble block or travertine,
swirling patterns, or just buff
subtle colors, mauve and green
a marble floor is quite enough.

Rugs will wear, wood will rot so
go with stone, colored designs
finely done smooth terrazzo
by skilled hands and artful minds.
