A kitten came to mind for me Keith. But your above comments are correct.. many things could apply. beautifully done.. hope all is well. I have lot's of catching up to do on your blog. xo
You know how this poem speaks to me with the incident I wrote just recently. I understand how it is to loss something and finding it, but that's a superficial and shallow take of this rather profoundly moving piece.
Sorry Keith, no harm intended. My interpretation of the Kiss principle is, simple and uncomplicated is best. As a potter I use it too, it reminds me not to keep fiddling with something I am doing and take things too far, i.e. keep it simple.
I wonder who you had in mind when you wrote it. I thought of children with no families of their own. But there are a lot of adults and pets needing to be found, rescued, and welcomed home too.
And to add to the variety of explanations, I thought of an abandoned puppy, although I can interpret it in different ways, all skillfully suggested by your poem.
I like this post Keith it could be interpreted for many things nicely done.

I wish you well.

ReplyDeleteI thought of an adopted child, but as someone else said, it could apply to anything. Very sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt can be taken for anything.. Like it!
ReplyDeleteThis is very delicate, Keith, and that's what makes it tug the heartstrings.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what makes me think of, but I'm already ready for the Tour Manager's business trip to be over. He just left today.
Short and sweet, but certainly a happy ending. And good to read.
