Toes went
to an exhibition

Foot stays
on the mantel

Nice!

dear Doris

may this find its way to the front page one day.

Neat, nice, sharp, Doris, and terrific.

Thank you much. It's a much valued line.

Love it....any chance it can make the move to submit?

I think that the two words "exhibition" & "mantel" make the piece along with the visual - the title is well placed too

Goodness, I must be a real dummy.  I don't understand what you're saying.  Everyone else does though, and that's really all that matters.

"Understand"? No, not here. Like, yes. Tom

Just saying don't muses don't go through the looking glass... That whole real vs. unreal thing again. Thanks, C.

I though it was the other way round, Tom? Cheers

The first image I got was of a giddy, mischievious statue having a romp off the foot (of the pedestal).

Second image was one of laziness or, maybe, not living up to one's potential - staying by the fire and watching something instead of going out, fx.

The title meshed the two images perfectly for me.

Lovely, Doris. Your writing is always a rewarding challenge.

Thanks,
Ginny

LOL. Thanks, G.

What do you say about moving this along into Submit, Doris?

I'll try it and see how world peace comes along. Thanks much, Tom.

Who knows, it could be something just like this that brings it.

Muses don't go through the looking glass.  Interesting.  Never thought about that regarding feet.  And a toe for a muse?  I think I'd tell him/her to keep walking.

Glad to see this in submit, Doris.  It's a good poem.

Hope stays green, Tom.

Thanks, C. It's the muse who gives up her toes, but stays on her feet... Appreciated.

And thank you much, Michelle. Just discovered your comment.

Thank you, Tom.
