Some say her name was Peace Seeker
Who found and saw her peas
Transform right into lovely pearls
In prayer on bended knees
Margaret's pearls of peace shared thoughtfully
Throughout the realms of this cyber universe
She's known to speak forthright and honestly
In poetic and conversational verse
Margaret Irene Sonnet Sultaness
Figuratively speaking as a poet
Her pearls of wisdom Cerebral Magic
Transporting you in thought before you know it
Alas as so often boundaries do
Block and often distort picture's view
Two letters lost make a name anew
My friend became Peaseeker so true
Like a rose, is a rose, is a rose
Poet Peaseeker travels on cyber seas
Armed with her emerald broach pea pod
Adorned with beautiful pearls of wisdom peas
Author notes
1. "And sometimes, pity is not an option"
Peaseeker's strength reminds me of the above quote. Like many of us she has had many reasons to throw a pity party but she doesn't have time since she's too busy making plans for happiness.
Note: When choosing Peace Seeker for a posting name the space amount allowed would not allow CE and so Peace Seeker became instantly transformed to Peaseeker. And that's the story in a pea pod.

I see your "name compulsion" and add one more! My middle name is Irene! Pearl of Peace!

Pearl of Praise
Oh, Margaret, you are so fittingly blessed by your perspicacious and great-hearted friend! I concur whole-heartedly with everything you said, YesYouCan!
I believe Margaret exhibits what Carl Jung termed "the compulsion of the name"...Margaret means 'pearl'...and she IS, in every sense.
Way to go, ladies!
Love & Light,
