For Sunday Whirl
CHOICE CUTS
As a player you should know
(at least for the present time)
the subtle approach is key
Scratch the surface to reveal
each boy's level of deceit
Mischievous glint in their eyes?
Not a single grain of truth?
Just a phase their going through?
Don't attach yourself to them!
Sometimes you have to play your hand logically..hard..when your heart is bigger
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a teacher where the boys are the enemy! Mind you in my day they were armed with canes...the teachers that is! As economical as always, I am quite envious.

ReplyDeleteThis works on many different levels. I kept rereading it, seeing different meanings and points of view.
ReplyDeleteI like the terseness of the piece. Tight. Taut. Taught.... the subtle approach is the key.
Nice piece.

Transition time? Sounds like talk with a son...'subtle touch' or coach and any-ball player or just life situation ...nice ~ with subtle approach next word for me would be the patience...
ReplyDeleteGreat take on this week's challenge.. We sort of used the same idea, but went in totally different directions. I enjoyed yours very much!
