The Precious Jewels
By Poet "Great memories are the best kind to have but some memories bring a waterfall of tears."
all little girls like to play dress up
mom had great hats, bags and pearls
her pretty white pearl necklace was long
around my neck
hitting my knees
her floppy hats were very colorful

Pride
Do not wear pride like a necklace
For God detests pride and arrogance
Pride does not go unpunished
Pride leads to disgrace
Humility is rewarded with wisdom
While pride begets destruction
Cause it takes credit for God’s accomplishments
And covets God’s glory
Pride demeans others
It arrogates sense of Almightiness
To a mere mortal
Pride stifles growth of other

NA Necklace
I really must stress,
I'm not ashamed of my N/A necklace.
We all place in some contests,
lose some too despite our best.
The literary world has rejection,
but we must pause for reflection.
A poem one judge may not choose,
another may select so don't feel the blues.
Our poetry tells its own story,
be it an elegy, haiku, sonnet, or humorous-
Penning it

Pearl or Jade Necklace
Quote:"All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography".
Federico Fellini
The Taos Indian crafted jewel,
A necklace strung with jade and some other gems.
Looked so pretty to me, I bought it on the spot,
Presented it to my wife, which she never wore in her life.
Once I asked her, why don’t you

LUMINOUS a potd
Luminous
lights appear
in my long dreams,
as my soul, so it seems, holds high
a periscope
for my heart and mind to see
every surrounding scene
beyond the heavy, seamed quilt of history
laid over my long sleep,
my long night — as deeply
black as the pupils of my eyes
mirroring a moonless, starless mid-night;
yet my soul floats
within this ever-amassing eternity —
wherein gleams

Garnet
This garnet chain you gave me
Is proof of your love
And in this, your face I see
Smiling from above
I keep this chain near my heart
Wear it every day
Me and your love never part
In my soul, you stay
This garnet chain you gave me
Shining in red hue
A bond as strong as can be
Joining me to you

Cowry Necklace
Scattered on the sandy sea shore,
She was thinking of the play of fate,
She could have become a large sea conch,
But the impatient waves left her alone on the shore.
Now she waits to meet her lover in sand,
With the longing of love, in the exuberance of beating waves,
If the waves could stay still on sand for

A Smuggler Speaks
Enough of a struggle,
When we banned goods smuggle
To against riches snuggle
And soon sound The Bugle
Enough of struggle:
Lots of body wriggle
For Danes’ Illicit Gin
That would lots of lips win:
South Africa Necklace
In Gold dressed like a lace…
In my mind a rifle
But its mention stifle:
Brushes with The Customs
Seizing people’s bottoms;
Curses of their custom
Of sparing not An Atom...
Ahead kicking

The Mystery of the Necklace
Sitting on the beach,
As dusk falls upon the end of shore,
I look at the lighthouse,
As I see a faint figure,
Looking beyond the sea.
She holds her chest,
As if she is holding a necklace.
She waits for her love who is at sea.
I believe that she looks so lost and,
Lonely then she disappears,
Without a single breathe.
A ghost.
A story.
A
