Dancing the Broom

another crumb fell
wind swept
to who knows where
pushing things
straight to the edge
and you
cleaning up
being so
brutally honest to
the point of pain
and I knew
I was just another
cookie in a jar
that might not
be pulled
to ever dance
the broom

Some amazing lines there Helen.  Really liked the visual this poetic dance created.  And the line..."dance the broom"...excellent!

NO ONE should ever accuse you of being just another crumby poet!

*grin*

(Yes, I know I am weak.  It is a good poem though.)

hmmmmm
I expect you'll be caught up in the straws of well handled broom one day.

I like the way you write.

Very nice!

whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows
