unevenly hued
un-rounded
hold my ethnic pendant;
the monkey God sleeps serenely
when he awakes
he will fly through the thick clouds
pluck through the echoed air-
get me the scented sky
I will cherish it,
also the blue background
to show the true me to myself

In England, the sky is very good at mimicking the different shades of your grey pearls, then letting them fall as rain! :)
thank you for explaining that the image is of a monkey god. it'll help me to find words for the prompt.
Probably not as good as yours.
I love your description of the pearls!

I agree completely with DR.FTSE's comment, above. Interesting that the verification word is "pifull"
An excellent description.
Very creative. I enjoyed your 55!
You managed to write a unique verse to magpie tales that fit the photo exceptionally well and you also hit the mark with economy of words for the ff55er.

I love the phrase "un-rounded", very clever.
This makes me smile to think of the ethnic pendant being a monkey God who will fly and bring you back the scented sky..beautiful.
Lovely piece of jewels & lovely 55! I have become fond of watching a show about a certain group of monkeys that live in a certain place in India. But please beware of the monkey catchers!! H
Have a great weekend!
Really enjoyed this - here's mine :)

Dear Gautaumi: There is a lyric sense of the legend of the monkey here with much vivid imagery. Thank-you for this pleasant inward journey; what a trip!
i liked the way these totally absurd ideas came together :)
I like it. Thank you.
