Pearls that shine ogling
its wonder to whet curious
onlookers’ questions

Gather around to
be astounded pending an
assurance implied

  10. I came back because I don't think my comment published. Anyway, enjoyed your poem and am impressed you made it in only 20 words. I love pearls, don't know about their assurances though.

  12. Pearls seem to have had a fascinating effect on people for centuries. Maybe because they are made by nature's hand.

  14. Assurance of success or insuring acquired success - the 'play' is the thing!
    Just keep vinegar away from pearls... it will make them dissolve.
