acknowledgement

of the trinity
the one(s) who spin, weave, cut
this fabric of life

while Cinderella
dreamt over her ironing
(in a mist of steam)
the importance of smoothness
was overlooked

thus so

our lives are wrinkled
no matter how much
permanent press
we buy into

wordancer:  Very well done! The Three Fates, may cut, measure and spin but they sure don't smooth out the wrinkles!

Very nice.  So that's why I have such a time keeping wrinkle free.  Love, Joyce
