If you enter a better rhyming poem in the rhyming contest I have to read it, Melissa. This a beautiful poem. Your pearls of wisdom read with all the love that many wish for and few receive. This too me is POETRY! Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
The use of the pearls as the object of your memories is ingenious because it is precisely the type of thing that stirs our memory. This is a sad but lovely journey and one we are all familiar with. It is very well done.

This is a lovely poem, rhymed well. Image is romantic and theme sentimental and loving. Your piece moved along with a nice pace, too. Good job. Marilyn

Very sweet, and a wonderful life story told through the pearls. Something like a piece of jewelry can be a marker for those events in a person's life. The narrator plans to hold on to the pearls as a reminder of her and her husband's life's journey. Lovely wording. judi

Hello Sugarray, What a lovely poem. I could just see it happening over the years, one at a time. One for the day we met, one for the first anniversary, (well maybe two, that might be the day you get the one for the day that you met!) one for the day you get engaged, etc... by the end of your life you would have a beautiful strand of pearls that would be worth a fortune, but wouldn't have ever cost very much! What an amazing idea!

This was a nice piece, Sugarray77. The flow was nice and the rhymes made a good rhythm. I love the way you used pearls to make your poem's theme. The last verse was beautiful. Good job.

Hi, Melissa,
Your story gave me goosebumps as I read the last few lines. The pearls remain and they reflect a long, happy life. Though each pearl may not represent an entirely happy occasion, it is a bond, because they shared it together.
Thank you for sharing,

Hi, Patty. You know something (between me and you). I was crying as I wrote the last few verses... there is a lot of personal stuff in that one. Couldn't stay detached... Thanks so much for your words.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written heartfelt rhyming poem. A string if pearls gifted by a loved one becomes more previous after his death and the wonderful memories is all we have to cling on.
