Listen to poem:

Questions, but Questions

What is in this bucket?
A question, ah yes.
Did I ever fill it?
Ah, yes, another question.
How weird a thing to ask
about a bucket.
How strange a question!
How strange a bucket!
So what is there within it?
Nothing of use.
Just questions.
Yes, mere questions.

A thought-provoking poem left open to several interpretations. I like that, Andrew. Janice

Good one. I enjoyed reading this one today. If I had to draw water from a well with a bucket, in the bucket would be a whole lot of nothing. Sara

Or, indeed, some questions. Many thanks, Sara, for your comment. First poem for more than two years, since I had hospitalisation for a long time. I think I'm back! :)
