Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

We Called Her Pearl

A mysterious girl, we called her Pearl;
though her given name was Jezebel.
Quiet life, a hell, confined to her shell;
her chambers were the rivers of Roswell.

Submerged in Ros, like the nautilus she was,
Her beginning dated nineteen forty-seven.
Her tenure eleven; work was her leaven;
in fifty-eight, she crashed the gates of heaven.


FYI:The mystery?  Was Pearl a passenger on the UFO's of Roswell? or the fated USS Nautilus? or both?

Line Gauthier March 24, 2018 at 3:02 PM Good one, Reason. Congrats. Reason A. Poteet March 24, 2018 at 5:18 PM thanks, Line, enjoyed the write.

Sandra Haight March 24, 2018 at 9:44 AM Very interesting, Reason! I must look further into this. I enjoyed your write and congrats! Sandra Reason A. Poteet March 24, 2018 at 5:00 PM The USS Nautilus really did not crash; but that made for better sci- fiction. Actually it was the first nuclear powered submarine and in 1958 navigated the North Pole under the ice of the Arctic Circle.

Tom Cunningham March 24, 2018 at 8:06 AM Congratulations Reason. Tom Reason A. Poteet March 24, 2018 at 5:00 PM thanks, Tom, it is entirely fictional, sci-fictional.

Anne-Lise Andresen March 7, 2018 at 1:36 PM - Many events that are stamped "top secret" ... and we never get the truth, R.A.P. - Great written :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Reason A. Poteet March 12, 2018 at 11:20 AM Thanks Anne-Lise. That is for certain, a count-on event.

Tom Cunningham March 7, 2018 at 2:10 AM Love this Reason, There's a lot more going on than they'd have you believe . Must google her, you've whet my appetite now. Tom Reason A. Poteet March 7, 2018 at 5:54 AM THank you so much, Tom. Your comment makes me smile, not many will check the dates to find there really are eleven years between the two events. Roswell is also at the conjunction of three rivers just like Pittsburgh, PA.
