Short Prised Poems

PEARL

Invested with iridescence
Calcium carbonate could impersonate
And subvert solemn  daylight.

And  grow gravid in nature.

Begetting a rare solidity
Befitting a miniscule masterpiece
Which is just happenstance

For a huge price, this prised-out gift.

map scratched on parchment

purpose nigh fulfilled
past tall trees, ten paces North
what lies 'neath soft soil?

efforts reap rewards
cherished childhood toy unearthed
party game enjoyed

drape, frilly and virginity 
Here in this basement,
inside his car with mirth!...
