You’re simmering
on a low boil,
bubbles sitting on the
bottom of the pan,
popping to the surface
in occasional bursts
of aggravation.
I don’t know
whether to turn
up the heat,
or turn you off.

Shawn L. Bird 
…or do nothing, as in, wu wei
Hmm. Don’t anything about wu wei. Another interesting thing for my to do list!
Well I hope you find some inspiration there. It can be a very powerful perspective to take. You’ve done such a good job with hat poem that I forget to mention how much I enjoyed it, I just went straight to the message, LOL!
Thanks. When I get back from SIWC this weekend I’ll look into it!
Love it.
Thanks

Hi Shawn. Hope you are well. Thank you for liking ‘ Across Country!’ Best Wishes, The Foureyed Poet.
My pleasure. Thanks for stopping in here.
wonderful metaphor – i honestly am getting tired of boiling water!
😉 Time to brew some tea, perhaps.
Great poem!
Thank you.
I vote for turn them off. Gotta keep the devil way down in the hole as the Blind Boys of Alabama sang.
