A Mind

A mind is a flower: It opens to sunshine, Shudders at storms-- ~Yet quickly re-forms.

Alright! (By the way, did you see Maurice Rigoler's version below? "The mind is like an egg // It cracks easily under stress." Now that's a real wisecrack! Always a pleasure, Maureen, to 'visit your visits.' Best wishes, :) gw

Good comparison, sir, but I prefer mine: The mind is like an egg / it cracks easily under stress. Many thanks for reading so many of my work. I think you have the record. Best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

Maurice, I like your version very much. Perhaps it can be termed a "wisecrack." ... Thank you for your good wishes, and I'd just like to say that it's invaluable for me to read and re-read the poems of a pro....Best of everything! ~Gershon
