Poetry Jam
Inside Outside
(There was a childhood poem about
leather mittens and I will borrow some words but I do not know the
poem or who wrote it)
All Sides Of Love
I want to keep the warm
side inside
I like to keep the soft
and fur side inside
Then I can keep the skin
side outside
Keep the soft and smooth
side outside
but
Sometimes.....
The tough and hard side is
on the outside
Sometimes the skin side is
the hard side
Sometimes there is no fur
side
and
The a tough skin side is
on both sides
then
Sometimes.....
We all need the fur side
to be on the outside
The genital and warm side
on the outside
When we move the skin side
inside
We can have the tough and brave side
inside
All this works and all is
well
Or
Can You Tell?
Is there an inside and an
outside
Is there a top side and a
bottom side
Is there a Right and Left
side
Is there a my side and a
your side
Soft and Hard side on the
inside
Hard and Soft side on the
outside
Right hand on the Left and
Left hand on the right
Your side is next to my
side, my side next to yours
and
THE difference makes no
difference at all
the skin side and fur side
were
both make to keep us
strong
no side is ever wrong
great write!

ReplyDelete-HA
yes... i think we all need those different sides to protect us sometimes and sometimes open up completely...always depending on how safe we feel with the people around us
ReplyDeletePowerful and very reflective.Well Done.
ReplyDeleteFun play with 'sides', to be safe from 2 sides - sometimes gets boring..:)
