Wonderful idea. And nice poem, I think pearl is one of those words that run down the middle of the fine lines between a one syllable and two syllable word. Pearl or Pear-l. Tricky stuff depending on how you pronounce and see it. But definitely agree that the darkest moments that trigger such grief help us to become wiser in every step of life from those certain unseen pitfalls and barbed wire trenches.

Thanks, @verbal-d. I had no idea that "pearl" could be pronounced with two syllables. As always, I appreciate your thoughtful comment! Love the haiku! So true, you must float down this river of life learning as you go.
