Pickin'

Truths and roses have thorns about them. - Thoreau

Today I stopped to pick God's prize rose.

Discovered that I had no clothes.

Got caught up in Satan's briar.

Sometimes I wonder who's the liar ...

Author's Note

"I can alter my life by altering my attitude. He who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers." - Thoreau

It is so true. We must handle truth and lies with distinction and careful analysis. But once we have those trials, we can feel what is what. Pete: You write short, straightforward and powerful poems. Keep them coming.
