Bobbling Her Bobble Head You have to figure out what you can give because you know, people respect those who can compromise more than those who always win, he said. And she listened and went back to the drawing board and sliced and diced with a salad shooter filled with syllables, mapping out the middle ground. It’s not easy, she muttered, playing follow the leader when I am the leader and I can’t find my way through the nuances of conversations that don’t lead to the point, but seem to drift off into obscurity leaving me to interpret when I don’t know the language. She bobbled her head intelligently and saw a realization dawning that hey! she is maybe meant (and ready) for management. While she smiled behind her turtle neck and thought she has been there before and there is no map around that will lead her back down that endless path obscured by hot air and chilly attitudes. No, she is not going back. They don’t realize that she doesn’t know the language. --- Alison |

Ali, this is amazing! I especially like the line: “a salad shooter filled with syllables “ I would not want to try & say that with a drink or 2 in me.. Take my advice & go for it, you are as ready now as you will ever be. And don’t forget, compromise is a 2 way street, let them learn your language because you have a lot to say and contribute. Good Luck & Go Girl ! Regards John |

Alison, Perhaps this would be more clear to me if it was left justified. Somehow I found this rather confusing. Strive for simplicity. Bobby |

Hi Fareed, Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment. A lot of what I write is personal - some is simply an observation of the world around me. I hope it all reads personal though. Alison ____________ John, Thank you. You made me smile -- and no, I don't want it. I am wearing garlic as I write this to ward off potential offers - again, thank you. Ali _________ sb I broke your vow of silence? I am truly honored. Thank you for letting me know that you liked this one. A ________ James, Thank you. A ________ D Thanks for taking time to stop in. How did you know about the tequila shots and the cigars? A ________ Simon Thank you. Alison _________ Bobby, Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Sometimes we, as readers, just have to go with the flow of the poet's mind. I always figure if I don't 'get' some thing - maybe it was not written for me. Alison |
