Pearl Plant

Pearl plant, precious, verdantly vellum.
Breathing quietly amidst humbler greenery.
Poetic eyes it aims to please, not prosaic.
Sage, somewhere between its beady lines.
Brightened, as if catching glimpse of a newborn.
I do not own, but yet I wrap my heart around.
Winsome pearls do not drop; raindrops remain.

Aww…thanks for sharing! My nickname is Friday. My husband many many moons ago brought 5 of us sailor ladies to the movies. All the other men were sitting by themselves in the Navy base theater. “Hey…are they all with you? My now husband says, “Yes, this is Monday, Tuesday…Friday.” LOL…told him I’m the best day of the week. Thank you, Charlotte!❤️
