Oysters

The sea scatters oyster shells on its shores, adorning Gaia with its treasured gifts. Oysters have shed pearls since the dinosaurs; seeding sandy beaches between tide shifts. Mother-of-pearl colors a glassy sky as Dawn merges with the blue of the sea. And time is in no hurry to slip by, escorting endless waves ashore carefree. Sol's light gilds the sand, and gold filigree set with quartz crystals sparkles in the sun. And an oyster open for all to see proudly holds a pearl that Nature has spun. The sea bestows its riches on the Earth, where humans can appreciate their worth.

Emile I am so glad you posted that picture and not one with an oyster inside the shell. Your poem is fine and you did not advocate eating them once ! Well done. A Valliant win. Congratulations.
