Paradigm


Paradigm
Status Quo                                      

Safe reason
Jealously protected
The boundaries,
A svelte loop of opinion
Juxtaposed reason
Walling 
Stone by stone
Sheltered
on one side.
Exposed on the other
Until the wall
Topples down

  5. Read through twice. "Sheltered on one side. Exposed on the other" Loved that.

  6. Ann, there was a bit of toppling in my piece this week as well. A fun coincidence!

    I agree with Gina-I loved that passage! Stellar writing, once again!

  7. svelte loops are like that body part, or are they? In some people it is a fat circle.

  12. Love how you set it up and then have it topple down. The weight of imbalance.

  13. The walls must come down, to restore balance. I liked the balance of this piece!

Your thoughts.

Look out A to Z, I'll be back.

 A to Z theme reveal. Well this theme is pretty weak. It is Dogs I have loved, fairy tales, myths, cats birds and what grows in my yard...  ...
