in their ro-sham-bo of loving,
her paper lucid covers
his rock obstinance …
to turn his certainty of move
to a scissors cutting logic
‘gainst her counter rock endurance…
and they tie rock to rock for silence…
’til their comfort level deference
begins the game again
Bonnie Marshall
Wonderful poem Bonnie. >KB
Grateful thanks, KB.
I absolutely, love this. 🙂 The idea, the concept. It may be short, but it is still powerful and wonderful. Thank you so much, for sharing this, my friend. 🙂
All so very kind of you to write. Know I am sincerely grateful. Smiles.
I started reading … this is interesting, I thought –
rock…paper…scissors…
blade through to sanity
seance in a gallery
to apprehend the tip
when townies go to ground…
small act of mercy …
… well, it DID say: ‘FOR BROWSING …’
Absolute serendipity, Mark. You found a poem! And, thank you for writing it. Smiles.

A poem worth acquainting yourself with not to mention the Poet. >KB

Thank you very much for your generosity, for I do appreciate it.
i’d have thought the rock, scissors, paper game is an unlikely metaphor to use for a relationship, but then i read your poem. eons ago i was in a relationship of “rock to rock for silence.” awful experience!
and then I grew up! (i think)
Smile…I’ve never been very well coordinated, so even this simple game is beyond me. Glad you found the poem.
