A pair of black chopsticks
two rods
sticking together
working harmoniously
like digits
parallel lines
as simple design
solving problems
with easy answers
refined simplicity
that works perfectly
picking objects
and choosing colours
resting on hand
in between fingers
like beaks and talons
clasping food
serving masters
entering maws
smooth and satisfying
fast and freely
humble utensil
excellent execution
like weapons pointing
one whip, two stabs
clicking together
reminding of home
in family circles
celebrating food
Note: Subject chosen and photo taken about 30 mins before writing/typing. 10 mins writing/typing time and extra 20 mins editing time. Can’t seem to get away from this 10 min writing, plus extra editing time format. Oh, well – must just keep on practising. Chopsticks come in many different colours. I love them and can’t live with noodles without them. That’s it – 7 days have passed re. the daily quick poems – can you believe it? Time flies when you’re having fun. I enjoyed it and will continue. Tomorrow’s beginning of a new week’s series of daily poems will be a haiku. Short, simple, succinct and packs a wallop. I love them. Should have kept it as a surprise, but hey – tomorrow’s not far away anyway. Enjoy the remaining of your weekend!
