Comment from Alan K Pease
Statistics say that efforts to find pearls by diving not so good. I saw a black pearl at a museum in San Francisco along with black coral also valuable. A very deserved six to you. I wish all the giant clams (Tridacnia - sp?) that I found diving in the Indian Ocean had giant pearls - not really necessary to be black. Hope this finds you well.

Kace, my wonderful friend, your signature style shines in this work. Heart, compassion and knowledge, as you always bring to the forefront one's sacrifice whom we do not realize but partake of the harvest they risked their lioves to procure. Wonderful execution my friend, wonderful. Jimi

You see, that's why I'll never take up diving with oxygen tanks. That's just way too scary for my taste, and this poem just reinforces that fear. LOL Snorkeling rocks! Haha!
Very nice piece. :)

What a way of life. The dangers are so humorous then to think enough treasure must be found to pay expenses and divers and captains and on and on. This poem does stir the mind and make the reader think

Comment from vkmack
This is very good work. There's something here I can't quite put my finger on. I believe it is the rhythm, which is so unique because of the use of the dashes. It has a choppiness to it, like a rough sea. Very creative. The imagery is impressive as well. Great work.

Hi K,
You have penned a wonderful poem about the danger in pearl diving. I guess I never thought of it before now but this poem will keep me informed for a long time. Your rhyming is first rate, the flow is like liquid falling and the theme is superb. Well done and good luck in the contest....blessings, chey

What a morbid, yet historic and true tale. I enjoyed reading this and cannot offer any suggestions. For me it was a six star and hope the system allows me to give that.

This story is very interesting. I never gave much thought as to how pearls were harvested. It is good they have a better way now. How sad so many had to die before they found a way to harvest them safely. Well done. Nancy
