Damned If You Do(Times Two)

A Senryu-Think about it.

 

Whether you sleep on

A bed of roses or nails,

Both can make you bleed.

ah, to me sleep means to dull the senses and completely feel at ease without the thought of what we lay on will draw our pain out. I like the analogy of whether it is a bed of roses or nails, because though one is more visually appealing and seemingly passionate - the rose will draw blood if not handled with care. and Nails...well - you're just nailed lol

literally...wisdom comes from the simplest of thoughts ...or Senryu...

Nails are useful to hold things together. I can build something with those. Roses are nice to look at but I prefer wildflowers. I've never slept on either. I heard a girl say she'd like to sleep in a field of bluebonnets once. I saw some of those out in Texas. Oh yeah, it's that song by the Dixie Chicks...Cowboy Take Me Away...So...others can sleep on the nails and roses leaving a trail of blood behind them in the morning...I'll be somewhere in Texas bedded down with the Dixie Chicks under "a blanket made of stars". lol
