Pebble Or Pearl?

by Temptress

She thinks she is a mere grain of sand in a shell

Until opened and comes to the realization she is much more

A Pearl who is treasured by the one who has opened her

And see's the true beauty that lies within.

    Thank you Keith a little something that I came up with after reading some of my fellow poets (namely women) poems and came to the conclusion at one point in time we consider ourselves to be nothing more than what we see, but when someone else comes along and makes us feel and know that we are something special makes life worth while. For that I thank you for opening up my shell and letting my light shine thru your beautiful blue eyes.

    Thank you John for your comment, it's funny it only takes that one person who makes you see something you can not, to make a world of difference in one's self.

Very nicely written, T.! Still think the self-value should be there with or without someone opening the shell with a rusty knife...lol, but I can see your point! Appreciation is always a catalyst... Smile B.

Temptress, there's much to like about the ideas in this poem, but the execution suffers. If you work-shopped this, readers would have pointed out the punctuation errors, capitalization issues, etc. Then the poem truly would be worth the rating praise placed on it.

    Thanks for your input but I'm not a serious poet but a woman who needs to express herself from time to time. The comment and generous rating is appreciated.
