Nimble Nelly
Bought a deli
And made a menu
With mashed yam.
She wrote in cheese
Hot from the oven
And sculpted bread rolls
From cold ham.

Poetry
Towering Time
Photo: Smadar Halperin-Epshtein
Windows blink
Sun and shade.
Emptied glass
Peers ahead.
While the dome,
Ivy wrought,
Towers time
Boggles thought.

Courageous Connections
Photo: Ofir Asif
Like a rickety bridge
Over fast,
Troubled water,
Calm your heart
As you cross
To what awaits
Being told.
Trust connections
You fear but
Cannot test or
Strengthen,
With no promise
They won’t pull away,
Break,
Or fold.
Like a rickety bridge
Over fast,
Troubled water,
Take a chance,
Make a step,
And weave new paths
To your old.

Vulnerable To Sputter
Photo: Amitai Asif
Freedom
Doesn’t require
You relinquish all
Protection,
For without it
Flames become
Vulnerable
To sputter,
Or go astray
In the
Wind.

Expert Explanation

I’ve been expecting
The expert explication
And the
Expedient expelling
Of expired exploration
That often follows,
Quite expressively,
In the wake of expletives
And exposed exposition
By those wishing to expunge
Their exploits
From any experience
Of expiation.

Moody Sentinels
Photo: Ofir Asif
Three sentinels
Stand determined.
Moody and muddy
Rooted
They brace against
The eddies
And the flow
Of oars and flotsam,
Ever mobile,
Passing by.

A Spinning Spin
Illustration: Anne Anderson from Grimm’s Fairy Tales (London and Glasgow 1922)
He wanted her to spin
Straw
Into gold.
To make the mundane
Magic
To behold.
Though the metal
Nourished
Naught,
And left only
An empty
Cot.
Where with
Better thought
He might’ve
Got,
Riches which
Could not
Be bought.
Note: A little spin on Rumpelstiltskin

From The Other Side
April 2018 Snow. Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Last year’s snow
Gave way
To melted cold,
So blooming trees
This Spring
Unfold
To leak
New life
To Winter’s old.

Line In The Water
Photo: Na’ama Yehuda
Draw a line in the water
To hold a boundary
For speed,
Where the motors
Rush inward,
For horizon
To meet.
Float a line strung together
Of what floats
And won’t sink,
So you can
After sunset
Draw it home
And night
Concede.

Uniquely Rolled
Photo: Chagit Moriah-Gibor
Roll the dough
And aim to shape it.
Press chocolate pieces
One by one.
‘Tis no product of
Machine identical,
But cookies proud
Of a child’s hand.
For the Tuesday Photo Challenge: Roll
