IS THIS A PARABLE OR WHAT?
It started with a dream all 6 sisters had.
The dream began in a sink disposal.
Nasty, slimy, each landed in a mess
at the bottom of a tall, long wall.
First one tried to scrub away the mess,
spreading the stain, making it worse.
The second painted over the gunk,
denying the contamination. It still
stank. The third hoisted herself up
the wall and looked over, then screamed
and fell into a big puddle of the stuff.
The fourth ran headlong into the wall
and broke her neck. The fifth jumped
in and covered herself from head to
toe, crowing like a rooster. The sixth
and last sister sat down and cried.
Then the alarm clock rang and they
all rushed to the shower, except
for the sister with the broken neck.
Nan
The 6 sisters theme and the way you put all the characters together is wow! and truly one of your best poems. 🙂
