For: What of ... a pearl? Poetry Contest
Sponsor: Craig Cornish
So she named them; Marvel, Pearl, Wonder, As they came one by one, Those perfect gems, Into the world of men Who desired to hem Each of them Into the garment Of his own design, Never comprehending The Mystica* of her. *Mystica: having a divine or sacred significance that surpasses natural human apprehension

Chetta, congratulations on your win with this wonderful metaphoric write - a pearl to marvel in and revel in the wonder of women. So great it is based on three sisters. Seems like the world of "men" desires to capture "pearls" in binding hems. Sending you blessings.

Thank you. Years ago I worked as a nurses aid in a nursing home. One of the residents was a woman named Marvel, and her sisters were Wonder and Pearl. I thought those the most beautiful names. At one time Marvel had been a Taxi driver in Seattle.

what powerful words these are: ...into the world of men who desired to hem each of them into the garment of his own design. Reminds me of how men saw women during Jane Austen's time. I've known very few men who truly comprehended a woman's sacred significance...goes right over their heads. Faving this one. Have a pleasant evening, Sara
