Description
Abalone
Abalone - Poetry by Kathryn Vercillo
Deceptively simple
With a deep-seated secret
You are neither wallflower nor party girl
Just average
The friend of the friend who dances on tables
A few small stories of your own that only a good listener will discover
Your limited whorls a flattened dull case
Minimally intriguing exterior designs
And a texture summarized best by �blotchy�
Prevalent, common
But I see beneath your surface
Small perforations used for respiration
A row of decorative holes, eye-catching in their symmetry
Pried open, you reveal iridescence
A strong muscle impression
Centralized on that pearlized skin
Finger run swiftly along your rim reveal texture
You lie quietly on rocky shores
And so few that pass will see your story
A secret beneath the surface

Gwyn Newcombe replied:
I am so happy you like it Ana. I just added a couple of other abalone abstracts, but they do not seem to have what this one has. Thanks as always. - g
