Of Pearls and Barnacles

source



Wild Woman would like
to pen you a poem
as lovely as a 
perfect polished pearl.

Please accept 
this crusty barnacle 
instead.
Wild Woman had a late night
and has misplaced
her head.


for Kerry's prompt at Real Toads: A Poem Lovely As - the best I can do today, lol, hoping to make you smile.

    This made me smile hugely. With people posting before they read the frigging prompt and just post something, this poem bespeaks of your thoughtfulness. Even without a head, your heart still writes and makes me smile.

    I'm like doubled over laughing ... for this "token" (ahem, seriously?! it's not a token) pearl of a poem. Crusty barnacle my butt. (just for some alliteration, or semi-precious humour!) ... this is just wildly perfect as it is .... and it is lovely ...

    hope you manage to get some rest and can catch a breath or 5 today
