Very entertaining poem, Tom. I love the crisp pace and rhythm of "Pearl Hunt." Oysters, clams--what the heck? If you need pearls, go to a jewelry store. LOL Well done!

A witty and humorous poem where the clam is exposed as an imposter of the oyster. The veil of deceit in its vacuous shell as oyster laughs with pearl aplenty. Well done, Tom.

What an intriguing title and artwork of yours! So many of my friends have entered this Minute contest, it will be quite a competition. I enjoyed the scene you captured and your rhymes. Someone else can write about oysters! Cheers- Joan

Hi, Tom

In light of the fact that giant clams don't have pearls, I have written a different verse...


Well, if they did, I know not where.
There's nothing there.
Just empty space
That seems the case.


or




but then again, would titan pearls
appease the girls
those heavy stones
would crush their bones! LOL

Unfortunately for you this didn't pull off, but I enjoyed it anyway :)

hurl/pearl = nice :)

kind regards

tracey

Oysters would be more likely than clams methinks to yield the pearls you seek. I've been looking in mussels but you don't find them there either. Better off down the jewellers. Nic little minute poem. Best of luck in the contest.

    Thank you Pantygynt. No gal could handle a pearl that big any way. It'd weigh 200 lbs.( that's weight, not money).

It is always a treasure hunt when we stroll along the beach. Not necessarily for pearls but who can get the most beautiful colorful or biggest undamaged shell. Always fun.

NS did see your review, will check and fix it tomorrow when I get to my PC. Thanks

I enjoyed your minute poem. Good job with the format. The picture is awesome. I like the flow the reader gets from finding to clam to finding whether or not there is a pearl. It kept me engaged throughout. I see no changes. Best wishes in the contest.
