Pretty pearls of wisdom in a silken drawstring bag. <br />Endow when treated with respect to cure the ills of man. <br />Almost rounded as a pea and clear as purest glass. <br />Razzle- dazzle sparkle many colours now to hand. <br />Lattice woven patterns now glitter through the gaud. <br />Six and twenty counted, you are indeed a lucky man. <br /> <br />Oh Lord what blessings in disguise a pearl can soon reveal? <br />From simple questions, what is love? What can I do for you? <br /> <br />With minute and careful study examined looking deep. <br />In each pearl viewed real close unlocking all that`s hidden. <br />Simple words and phrases? No I am not and old Magician! <br />Diapason harmonies, sweet sounds you can imagine. <br />Omnipotent multitudes await a Poets humble bidding. <br />My joyous task to catalogue with delicious inspiration.<br /><br />Philip Winchester<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pearls-of-wisdom-acrostic/
