Sunday Scribblings: prompt #285 easy
Easy
The frog used to say
It ain’t easy to be green
I say
It ain’t easy to be seen
It ain’t easy when it don’t fit
It ain’t easy when everything is new
What’s easy
Is an old shoe
That fits comfortably
Thoes dang new ones
Always bite my toes
But in order
To get a different view
You sometimes have to agree
To be uncomfortable
And it ain’t easy
Sunday Whirl: Wordle
The Trials Begin
In dream
My muse
Walked the corridor
Thrusting the end
Of the red thread
Into my hand
An omen
All was reflected
In the mirror
Through opalescent veil
The image was strengthen
With blind finger tips
I read the message
With verve she spoke
Of what is raw
Unresolved
The yearning
I unfolded
The tiny square of paper
A sheep was standing
Waiting for a shepherd
And his dog

I love picturing the sheep waiting for a shepherd and his dog. (Maybe each of us is a sheep…waiting?)
Thank you Mary, I think you are right… Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

Butterfly thoughts and red thread..I can’t imagine sheep in the desert..Sometimes we all need a shepherd..Jae
You can never truly appreciate a good fit until you’ve spent days in shoes that don’t (but of course, they are never just shoes)…Love love the second poem. Those waiting hopeful sheep (are we? perhaps, and perhaps at times the shepherd–or even the dog).
Thank you.
Thanks so much for your comment! Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

Mysterious and captivating. I really like the image at the end.
Thanks Laurie, I think I was thinking of those little toys, little “dogs black and white”, standing on magnets. A stiff little sheep, standing… waiting…The Trials Begin… where the man whistles and calls commands to the dog, and the sheep does what the dog tells him… Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

will check the bookout…your poem onits not eassy is a delight to read…and i enjoy the wisdom in the end as well…sometimes we need to be challenged out of our comfortable shoes….
Nice twice. The older I get the less that’s easy, and this wordle is the proof. This was a tough one and you tackled it with style.
A few strokes and an engaging tale of the muse. I like the red thread and that unfolding of the square of paper with the image.
What a delight of variety. I hang on to my shoes until they fall apart. Think about buying something new, then remember I have to break them in, and go back to what I was doing. Like your take on the wordle, dreams bring such wonderful messages,

I loved the idea of the shoes, perfectly described!
and I just loved the last verse of your wordle … wonderful :o)
I love your Sunday Scribblings post Annell. Wise words! 🙂
Your poem from the wordle words was wonderful, I LOVED the last stanza!
I like the ending with the sheep, the dog, and the shepherd, surprising and pleasant. I also like the idea of how the mirror reflects “all” but still through a “veil”.

I love the wordle poem, Annell. The image of the sheep, the dog and the shepherd is nice. Well done.

Interesting take on the wordle, Annell – a bit surrealistic, until I read your reply to Laurie’s comment. 🙂
Beautiful work…
