Notes About The Poem
Matthew 7:6 , Job 28:18

Pearl

Pearl

Mother gave me a string of rare pearls
Passed through Maternal blood to every girl
Not all at once, but one at a time
When needed the most or by her design
In times of confusion, heart break, or joy
When days were quiet, nights dizzy with noise
Each precious pearl memorized
Passed to my daughters, this gift of the wise
Mother gave me a string of rare pearls
Such valuable wisdom in a man's world.

Beautiful metaphoric write, Crystol - the precious wisdom of women passed down from one generation to the next like a set of heirloom pearls. Very creative take on the contest, wonderfully expressed. Congratulations on your win! Blessings to you.

Dear Crystol, yes, "Such valuable wisdom in a man's world." What a great finale! Your poem is a pearl, full of feminine/maternal beauty, wisdom born of pain or pleasure, heirlooms to be passed "through Maternal blood to every girl", "In times of confusion, heart break, or joy". Yes there are lessons only a mother/woman can teach a daughter/girl. Fortunate are we females who receive these pearls. A deep, rich poem. Superb! Congratulations for your win in Craig's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
