A Prickly Situation

I glimpsed a funny sight the other day;
A cactus with a mindset of its own,
Which seeking out a horizontal path
With comic singularity had grown.

The poet,with a self-reflective eye
Considered this quite unexpected course
At times she too had wandered from the path
And deviated from the true light source.

Rico Leffanta Date: 9/26/2020 10:31:00 AM A common sight in the Sonoran Desert where cacti collapse from lack of water, but your poem is a winner! Aloha!

Jan Allison Date: 9/26/2020 7:35:00 AM a time for self reflection I guess - the pic sure made me smile, the poem made me think about my life, :-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 9/26/2020 10:43:00 AM I can imagine, Jan! It really made me laugh. It seems that it had something to do with the blinds rather than lack of water. Thanks so much for taking the time to read and comment.

John Gondolf Date: 9/26/2020 6:37:00 AM Nicely penned, Wendy, I love the way you compare the course this cactus has chosen to grow with the way we sometimes choose to live our lives. Have a great weekend. John Login to Reply Wendy Watson Date: 9/26/2020 10:42:00 AM I burst out laughing when I saw it on my friend's windowsill, John but it triggered a more philosophical thought on my return home! Thank you so much for the feedback.
