Pearls that shine ogling
its wonder to whet curious
onlookers’ questions
Gather around to
be astounded pending an
assurance implied
(20 words)

pearls and Brian's
hosting at
d"Verse MTB - its a small small world
a lovely little snicker of levity to this piece - that begs the question: why do people adore themselves with jewels.
ReplyDeleteAn assurance implied... I like that phrase!
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a jewelry guy, but gimme some pearls and I could rock em... gather round, I think this is gonna start a new trend... hahah; ok maybe not.
ReplyDeleteOgling, indeed. Accounting not necessary.
ReplyDeletenice nice :)
ReplyDeleteOgling.. Yes it's very tempting to let your eyes graze those shining pearls.. And assurance for sure.
ReplyDeleteMine are much nicer than yours (chuckles)
ReplyDeleteI love pearls, smiles ~
ReplyDeleteinteresting....makes me wonder at what assurances...wealth would not be one, neither would oppulence.....both can be fleeting....
ReplyDeleteSure can get an oogle or three, I'd just rather take them and sell them though haha
ReplyDeletepearls are beautiful... all i own are fake ones though...oy
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletePeople do tend to have a lot of questions about pearls, don't they?
ReplyDeleteA Suitcase Heavy with Pearls
Pearls seem to have had a fascinating effect on people for centuries. Maybe because they are made by nature's hand.
ReplyDeleteThere really is something captivating about pearls!
ReplyDeleteAssurance of success or insuring acquired success - the 'play' is the thing!
ReplyDeleteJust keep vinegar away from pearls... it will make them dissolve.
short and cute.....:-)
ReplyDeleteI've never understood the lure of pearls, but you've strung some nice words here that I do like.
