Weekend Wordsmith

" Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history."-- Plato

Ah yes...time for weekend wordsmith, and the word to ponder over is sensible, and the photo...well sensible shoes...

(Photo is "Eleanor's Sensible Shoes", by appaloosa)

Grounded,

Solid

By all appearances,

Hidden inside

Tenderness,

Gentleness,

Bursting to show

Through the toes

Wiggling,

Dancing,

Waiting--

For another day.
