A Brief Poem

Oooooh, sometimes I think I'm so clever.....

The Teacher

I’m looking for the universal
Under the butter dish
Because if it can’t hide under there
It doesn’t deserve counter space

  2. There is something beautiful in your place and in your world. I see it wherever I turn or hear it when I lend an ear to your words, softly echoeing into the stillness after you have uttered gentle words and phrases. I see it when I see a photograph of the magic cottage or your garden or your grandson. You are very clever indeed, becoming the best of friends despite all odds.

  5. Well, okay - I'm going to fess up here, I'm too dense to really get it (but I'm sure it's very clever). I will remind you, I do hugely enjoy everything else I've ever read of yours!

  6. I only need to ask...what is the universal?

    Being able to play with words is the cleverest thing ever. It shows you made language your own
