Ann Peck Poet Dizain

Gemstone With Fire

I say, go far past where the crawdads sing,
explore and sample this beautiful ball.
It matters not the baggage you may bring.
The Earth is big, but you can begin small.
Just remember, her magic will enthrall.

With wind at your back, you are at last free!
You have set sail on life's open sea.
Keep those moments left behind to inspire.
You can become the one you hoped to be--
strong, passionate, like a gemstone with fire!

Anne E Sangster - K December 27, 2022 at 11:21 AM This is really beautiful Ann and so true! Cheers my friend :-) Ann Peck December 27, 2022 at 2:52 PM "Where the Crawdads Sing" is the name of the book. :) Ann Peck December 27, 2022 at 2:42 PM Dear Anne, Thank you. If you haven't read the book, it's worth reading.

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2022 at 9:51 AM wow, you did great with this one . I saw the movie but the challenge stymies me! Ann Peck December 27, 2022 at 2:41 PM I read the book. They probably changed the movie all around. It's about overcoming great odds. I didn't like the way it ended. I wanted her to rise above those crummy people.

Suzanne Clear December 26, 2022 at 2:09 PM Anne, What strong, motivated feelings your gemstones 'shout-out!' Positive for each of us. Thx, suzanne Ann Peck December 27, 2022 at 2:47 PM Thanks, Suzanne! I had the book but don't know who I lent it to, maybe Judy...

Gershon Wolf December 24, 2022 at 9:29 PM Lovely sentiments voiced here, Ann! And yes we can! Merry Christmas, Gershon Ann Peck December 28, 2022 at 5:41 PM Thank you, Gershon! It's always nice to read about someone who beats the odds and makes it, like in the book the sponsor took lines from for us to write about.
