Writing With Gibran - Pearls . August 9, 2014



Todays quote on Carpe Diem Haiku Kai from Khalil Gibran is:

[...] "Perhaps the sea's definition of a shell is the pearl. Perhaps time's definition of coal is the diamond." [...]

[...] "A pearl is a temple built by pain around a grain of sand." [...]
 Here are two haiku written by Chèvrefueille:


catching oysters
to serve to my beloved wife -
pearl necklace

wandering along the sea
in the footprints left an oyster
shimmering of a pearl

© Chèvrefeuille
§§§§
 The second verse struck me more than the first ...

pearls of wisdom
gleaned from the pain of living
mother fox runs
© G.s.k. '14
old monk walking
gifting his pearls to the youth
under evening rain

© G.s.k. '14

an oyster opened
inside a resplendent pearl
on an empty beach

© G.s.k '14

  1. I like that you connected the pearls to the wisdom..

    wisdom
    youthful ignorance
    pearls for swine

  3. The most natural? The oyster on the empty beach - though that is becoming as rare as pearls.
    Wise is the fox that runs from the hounds. If only the students would value the monks pearls...

    Thanks for your visit.
