poems are shells
that echo music of this world
poems are shells
nude and dressed that challenge to tell
about souls’ foolhardiness gnarled
and advice on how to stitch purl
poems are shells

a wonderful extended metaphor poem, Selma; succinct but contains so much wisdom; and yes, as the Doobie Brothers say, listen to the music 🙂
Listen to the music 🎶 get your responses that way
A great image Selma, with many manifestations. (K)

Selma I love the knitting references! Your Rondelet is beautiful – and the rhyme is a treat!!
This is gorgeous, Selma
Selma, you’ve presented a really interesting metaphor! Making me think…hahaha, for today that’s a good thing!
I love the repetition, Selma!

This is such a creative take on poems! I love how you compared them to shells, full of depth and stories to tell. Beautifully done!
