Colliding Worlds - 3WW

Three Word Wednesday words: blurred illegal match

Read where these simple words took others here.

Colliding Words

The lines are blurred in
your mind

because it is more
convenient to take the easy path
and your inner conscious and
convenience-fitting-in-genes
are bruising each other’s vision
in ongoing war….

in mine, this side is right,
my vision is clear

HARD OR NOT….

Illegal is illegal,
you chose to work here
and in this world,
your stride
needs to match the law

but in your other worlds,
the choice is yours,

I have no opinion
nor a need for one,
for that is only play.

3WW - Him, A Partial Reveal

May 14, 2008 | Filed Under 3WW, Family, Photo, Poetry | 1 Comment 

Average - Neck - Scratch. Three simple words tossed at us by Bone for Three Word Wednesday. Though I have no time to read much this week, I could not resist writing, for as soon as I saw the word “neck” - the first line of the poem formed.

Him, A Partial Reveal

16.5 neck
above average height
(in the day)
large hands
big feet
inseam 30

actor, always on
(except when not)

dry witted
quick witted

moods worn for most to see
though some know not the signs

heart HUGE
hidden at times

while male bravado states its case

and loses.

Giver of self and heart.

I must only scratch the surface
for privacy means more to him than me….

Did I tell you I’m spoiled rotten?
(Not materially — for anyone could do that.)

I share this also as part of Barbara Torris’s challenge to write for ten days of positives and joy. Join us?

Comments unopened - just because. Have a joy filled day y’all. I’ll try to catch up on reading this weekend.

3WW - On Human Matters

May 7, 2008 | Filed Under 3WW, Life balance, Poetry | 8 Comments 

Cautious - Human - Maybe: Three simple words leap out of Bone’s brain to bring wonder or complications and who knows what else to a writer’s mind. Check out other Three Word Wednesday thought streams here.

On Human Matters

When

Cautious by nature
coexists with
reckless by desire

and

years are controlled by the former,
scattered moments, by the latter

will she be judged by either,

or seen as merely human?

Maybe, it will depend by whom?

Maybe, after the fact, it won’t matter

at all?
