a father and his gifts
far below the surface of the sea
fathoms away from the sun's harsh glare
the old pearl-diver hides his oysters
ocassionally checking on how they fare
seaweed and barnacles are a real threat
to his big dreams for his little girls
in a few months, if his toils go well
they'll delight in the lustre of wondrous pearls!

Great words for a thrilling pursuit.
That was beautiful - the excitement and adventure of the pearls!
An interesting use of the words to push this story along. It is a thrilling pursuit for a father to provide for his children. I liked this very much.
Dangerous work for Dad when he obviously doesn't lack disposable income (he doesn't convert the pearls to cash...).
I enjoyed this tale very much. Well played and well told. Thank you.
Like how a father wishes the best for his children..
it was not a dream, certainly not a memory
a very shaking piece of writing!
The Glare of Threat
once again it amazes me ..the different aspects everyone sees in the prompts!
Luster of pearls! why didn't I think of that!
I love how you told such a straightforward little story with your poem. The prompt words just blend right in, unnoticed.
A very worthy cause...
This read like a fairy tale...loved it!
