Premium Member The three legged cat
Rescue haven, a stray little cat front leg mangled, fur all matt. No fluffy toy, this poor wee mite eyes full of trust, denying his plight. Minus his leg, fur closely shorn, cuddled in blanket, cosy and warm. Petted, pampered, he thrived and grew soft velvet fur. A Russian Blue. He rules the roost, this regal cat, his lair… my bed, kingdom my flat. Beautiful...

Premium Member My Life is a Three-Legged Stool
My life is a three-legged stool: family; job; and poetry. With only two, my life’s not full, my life is a three-legged stool. To keep me standing one cannot be pulled; what makes me me is to have all three. My life is a three-legged stool: family; job; and poetry. My life is a three-legged stool, with only two, my life’s not full. To keep...

10-31-23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three Legged Table Above the polished face of the petite gueridon A crystal chandelier sparkles in dreamy hues As one candlestick flickers in perfume, One red rose dreams of minuets, Upheld by gilded caryatides of innocence, Draped maidens and daughters of Athens, In salons where graceful reveries Twirl in graceful circles Around the teapoy’s edge. Unmasked rhapsodies Shimmer with the indelible mystery Of one fleeting...

It was designed to be by fireside, was eight inches by eight inches wide, just about two and a half feet high, to keep him in winter warm and dry. polished in dark varnish to...

Three Legged Table
I am three legged, I am balanced, It’s a mystery, I sit in a dim-lit room. I bear the sage's books, Where he scripts his thoughts, The monsters that stare through his window, The gloom that pervades the meadow. I am three legged, The unseen pivots me, The unknown trestles me, I'm in a library of the deep. I am a door into the day, Prop and support...

Inside our living room, there stood a table. Three legs it had; its round top was unique. Mom kept it in the corner, and she’d say so proudly that the table was antique. Well polished, it had a vase atop it, and flawless was its base, legs widely splayed. One day, with Mom away, we moved it to another room. A few...

I placed my glass down on the table next to the leg, curiously laid upon its heavy, wine-stained surface. A perfectly fine leg, I noted; unbolted, removed with some intent. My host viewed my curiosity with a casual indifference; waiting so painfully patiently; a child, bursting with a sworn secret. As the evening took its course, more wine long, dry, wearying conversation, side-stepping the leg, on...

Unity of the Trinity in Christianity The Triune Allah-Jesus-Mary concept of Islam The Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva... one with the humanity All amalgamate into sole wholeness and grand great charm... Inner ethical fiber as a solid foundation Extended rhythmic reality bonds with each being. Incorporation, like butter with bread, truth collation Accomplished with the self of one and the other freeing... Physico-psychic-spiritual warmth, like...

The three-legged table ordained Its four-legged buddy- hair-brained! A dumb square was he- Paired down to just three Not knowing that four was ingrained. A three-legged table is round; On only three legs, it is sound. A square one needs four. With three, it's done for; Will wobble until it is downed! The three-legged table grew sad; Four-legged- now only three had. Six legs were just...

Three-Legged Table As I drove through an old neighborhood, I spotted a garage sale sign. I pulled off to the side of the street. With impatience, I couldn't get out of the car quick enough. Right in front of the drive sat a vintage, small drop-leaf, three-legged, brass lion claw Duncan Phyfe red mahogany table. The price was...

As a child, I loved to watch Grandpa build. His basement workshop, was filled with tools. Tools hanging on every wall, wood neatly stacked in a pile. Grandpa worked for hours each day, filling his many orders. He built my lovely bed, pretty flowers carved into the headboard. One Christmas, Grandpa built my fun dollhouse....
