Spelunking

Spelunking

Like Edith Ann
in her oversized chair,
I blurt whatever
is on my mind.
I offer shallow confidences
until I am unmysterious –
until you drop your
headlamp and harness
and settle by the fire
at the mouth of my cave.

This is a Magpie Tale.

  9. Edith Anne (in the chair)! That took me back!
    The poem said stuff to me that I hesitate to relay... Mmmm.. maybe it is just me.

  10. HEH HEH I loved the accompanying video, too - especially the raspberry at the end!

    The sandwich sounded like the occasional ones I used to slip in besides the rest for hubby's fishing trips.......☻!

  11. Well Stafford, actually late at night after I had posted the poem I started thinking probably the same things you did. And blushed mightily (or maybe it was a hot flash). Ha!

    It is kind of a dark piece - in that I'd just as soon keep people from getting to know the real me.

  12. The video of Edith Ann was a great one and a perfect response for the prompt with the big cozy chair. I thought the title of your poem truly reflected the spirit of Edith Ann and her sandwich with so many layers revealed and eventually becoming unmysterious. Thank you for sharing.

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
