Be them darkness or light, your poems certainly do shine!!❤️
ReplyDelete...and housekeeping? I drop the housework for poetry... ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course! (Doesn't everybody?)
DeleteOne of the cool things about a poem is that it can be looked at from several different angles. What may only be dark to one person may be light for another for whatever reason.
ReplyDeleteI would hand 'that' person the hoover.
ReplyDeleteHaha! What does Cohen says.. there's a crack in everything - that's how the light gets in.
ReplyDelete;-)
Maybe even especially housekeeping, fraught as it is with mixed duty and love.
ReplyDeletelove it. that's the thing
ReplyDeleteNope, I don't get it about the housekeeping either. But it's a cute poem, no darkness. :)
ReplyDeleteWell then. sweep it out...
ReplyDeleteMine tend to be dark too. I like shadows and pay more attention to bad dreams than the good ones because they inform me so well. I think of writing poetry as taking my physic blood pressure.
ReplyDeleteOh, you know mine are dark. Maybe it is the mind doing housekeeping.
ReplyDeleteha!
ReplyDeleteMine are often dark too, but I hope I radiate thought.
ReplyDeleteNot keen on housekeeping, maybe I was born in the wrong century as maids are not now the done thing...
