They even can sometimes form just like pearls, too: through constant irritation! though unlike pearls, the end result isn't necessarily pretty.... ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- "If you've ever emptied the back of your pickup truck by driving backward really fast and slamming on the brakes, you might be a redneck" - Jeff Foxworthy Bill Engvall: "that's how we moved"

Ahhh...

like tears in my wanting eyes.. falling like rain from your darkn'd skies... in my shell I'll hide treasuring the memories... Locked forever inside just you, the pearl, and me. Wow, you inspired, love it! Sincerely, Mark

I can ...

write an epistle of your beautiful poem of four simple words in three lines, but that would be inadequate. I just like it. Cheers. T.

Me too. His

Me too. His singing/songs/words tore into your soul. Especially Crying... and K.D. Lang http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cc8TI1KomU Hey, leah leah Hey, leah leah Here I go From the hut to the boat to the sea for leah Uh huh! I gotta go diving in the bay Gotta get a lot of oystersFind some pearls today To make a pretty necklace for leahLeah I gotta go deep and find the ones just right I’ll bet my leah will be surprised tonightI’ll place the pearls around the only girl for me Leah But something’s wrong I cannot move around My leg is caught It’s pulling me down But I’ll keep my hands shut tight for if they find me They’ll find the pearls for leah And now it’s over I’m awake at last Oh, heartaches and memories from the past It was just another dream about my lost love About leah Hey, leah leah Hey, leah leah Here I go Back to sleep and in my dreams I’ll be with leah Leah Leah

I am always diving for pearl, and I find them in the simple pleasure of life, they form in a child's smile, in my wife's eyes, sitting by a lake. thanks Anna this is a good one. Eddie

This has to be one of the shortest poems I have ever read - but it is perfectly formed- an absolute gem! Love it! Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
