Recently, in English, we have been writing short stories. My first idea for the assignment did not work out so instead I wrote a short poem inspired by it. Here it is:
Pearls
a sea-girl drifts asleep upon a watery bed.
light cascades in ribbons
through her tangled hair.
each strand a thread of silk in a crystal cup.
she lies coiled around green weeds,
and through her troubled slumber,
cries softly from salt-glistened eyes
tears of pearls,
which form rounded mounds
upon the sandy floor.
