Image: Femininity maintained
in all of its modesty (here)
the 12 given words:
blow strike hazy water climb high
drain slide stick message line scraps
what a blow to strike a deal
that is hazy in all of its complicity
does not hold water in arguments
but a contention hollow in makeup
is it wise to climb high but drained
of resources to eventually slide back
never to stick tightly within grips?
the message is clear
there are both male and female
apples and it is not an embarrassment
but to toe the line to seek
solace in numbers
the bigger groups are expected
to assume the leadership role on
account of support from within
those little ones are content
to be followers to survive on scraps
of past due edibles blaming
society for their woes!

Hi Bjorn. Apples, maple and females in their own sets of groups, large and small. Group size wins and gains control. How'd I do, Dr. Librarian?
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun read about serious situations.

Dr Jim, I take it to be Hank not Bjorn. Thanks.

Seems spell guru changed my "males" to 'maples' with the Publish Button. Sorry.
ReplyDelete..
An astute commentary on the political scene disguised as apples. Clever, Hank! (It took me a few looks to notice the underwear, LOL.)
ReplyDeleteWell done Hank! That picture made me do a triple take. :-))
ReplyDeleteOh love it Hank... the picture made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea apples were both male and female! This is a brilliant write, Hank!❤️
ReplyDeleteWho knew apples were so fickle haha
ReplyDeleteMale and female apples? Never knew. Although I'm still distracted by the ones wearing underwear in the photo...
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting poem, Hank! I am left wondering over this line: "but to toe the line to seek/solace in numbers". I doubt if it is the way to go in the long run. Very well penned!
ReplyDeleteGood to know the apples at least know if they are male or female.
ReplyDeleteNice picture (and poem)!
