Deborah Alexander Poet Free verse

Pearl Wedding

When we first met
You were impossibly irritating,
And yet, so stubbornly persistent that,
Like a piece of grit in an oyster,
You just stayed put,
Until, over time, 
We created something beautiful.

Doug Vinson March 24, 2017 at 2:59 PM Holy mother-of-pearl, perfectly put. : ) I love the theme, and indeed - sometimes enemies become the fastest of friends, or more.

Connie Marcum Wong March 13, 2017 at 9:04 PM Deborah, this is freshly unique and witty. A very impressive little gem! A fave I must save! 7 ; ) Deborah Alexander March 14, 2017 at 2:50 AM Thank you, Connie. I'm so appreciating the supportive comments from all the poetry soupers!

Jesse Zerlaut March 10, 2017 at 11:02 PM I think there's something amazing found when two people can grate on each other or cause each other ire and yet in time they find something beautiful, well wrote! Deborah Alexander March 14, 2017 at 2:48 AM I wonder how many relationships have started with someone saying 'I can't stand him/her!'

Darren White March 10, 2017 at 12:01 PM Oh, I love this poem, it's simply wonderful, it's so imaginative! That path to creating a pearl, written so well :) Deborah Alexander March 14, 2017 at 2:49 AM One of those images/poems that just 'floated to the surface' one day. Nice when that happens.
