PearlsA Poem by Steve KittellDiminishing pearls of wisdomPearls of beauty cost time and luck. Pearls of wisdom spend lives in muck. Pearls displayed on treasured chest, not the pearls that pearl’s love best. A pearl adorned was a life we shuck, a pearls death when freed from muck. Wisdom counters folly’s haste. Pearls of nature are not to waste. Muddy visions count the buck. Oceans clear drown in muck. Seas to rise in polar heat Saving pearls from Follies Street Pearls of wisdom we can’t pluck, When life returns to natures muck. The End Sck102114 © 2014 Steve Kittell |
