Pearl
A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue (specifically the mantle) of a living shelled mollusc. Just like the shell of a clam, a pearl is composed of calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in concentric layers. The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but many other shapes (baroque pearls) occur. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued as gemstones and objects of beauty for many centuries. Because of this, pearl has become a metaphor for something rare, fine, admirable and valuable.
The most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild, but are extremely rare. These wild pearls are referred to as natural pearls. Cultured or farmed pearls from pearl oysters and freshwater mussels make up the majority of those currently sold. Imitation pearls are also widely sold in inexpensive jewelry, but the quality of their iridescence is usually very poor and is easily distinguished from that of genuine pearls. Pearls have been harvested and cultivated primarily for use in jewelry, but in the past were also used to adorn clothing. They have also been crushed and used in cosmetics, medicines and paint formulations.
Pearl River (Mississippi–Louisiana)
The Pearl River is a river in the U.S. states of Mississippi and Louisiana. It forms in Neshoba County, Mississippi from the confluence of Nanih Waiya and Tallahaga creeks. and has a meander length of 444 miles (715 km). The lower part of the river forms part of the boundary between Mississippi and Louisiana. The river contains large areas of bottomland hardwood swamp and cypress swamp, providing habitat for many species of wildlife including sturgeon and black bears. There was once hope that Ivory-billed woodpeckers might survive here, but this now seems unlikely. The mouth of the river provides important marsh habitat along salinity gradients; these marshes have been the subject of many scientific studies. It is considered to be one of the most critical areas of natural habitat remaining in Louisiana.
Tributaries and hydrology
The Yockanookany and Strong rivers are tributaries on the upper section and the Bogue Chitto is a tributary on the lower section. The Bogue Chitto's mean low-water discharge is nearly six times the mean low-water discharge of the Pearl River at Jackson, Mississippi, according to a 1936 government report of the Mississippi Planning Commission. Northeast of Jackson, the Ross Barnett Reservoir is formed by a 1962 dam. Average annual rainfall is about 52 inches in the upper third of the basin, and below Jackson the basin rainfall increases to 64 inches or more. The Yockanookany River along with the Lobutcha, Tuscolameta, and Pelahatchie Creeks are major tributaries to the river north of Jackson.
Pearl (literary magazine)
Pearl was an American literary journal published between 1974 and 2014 in Long Beach, California.
History and profile
Pearl was founded by Joan Jobe Smith in 1974. The first issue appeared in May 1974. It was edited by Joan Jobe Smith, Marilyn Johnson, and Barbara Hauk. Pearl was based in Long Beach. It released an annual fiction issue and an annual poetry issue as well as hosting an annual poetry prize.
After several issues published Pearl went defunct until 1986 when Joan Jobe Smith and Marilyn Johnson relaunched it.
The magazine ceased publication in 2014.

Pearl
by: Lisa BrokopThey'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a
field to plow
Girl put down that book you aint got no time to read
right now
Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see
But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
She'd go barefoot down to Beale street, she had no
fancy shoes
She's tell them she was 21 and got paid to sing the
blues
She'd crawl back into her window every night at 2:00 am
And pray her daddy didn't come to steal her innocence
again
But finally she had her bus fare
They never found out where she'd gone
She left a note that said I'm goin' someplace
To make this life a better home
They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a
field to plow
Girl put down that book you aint got no time to read
right now
Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see
But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
I met her in a lonely church one cloudy afternoon
She was singin' softly to the Lord and fillin' up the
room
I said I've seen you on the big stage, lights and glory
all around
Pearl what brings you to this place, she said it's my
hometown
And I need just like the next one to remember who I was
So I've come back to find forgiveness
To see my past through eyes of love
They'd say Pearl go get your boots on, we've got a
field to plow
Girl put down that book you aint got time to read right
Mama she don't know the kind of visions that I see
But my ticket to the world is the soul inside of me
( Soul inside of me, Soul inside of me, Soul inside of
me )
