Bead Dazzled 

 Beads of many colors
waiting to be strung
slipping onto my unknotted
string of days


 Where every piece
appears again 
as though it never had
been strung before 

 A carousel of squeaky clean
passing by each turn
waving flags of color
laughing laundry lyrics

Pick me!
Wear me! 
Stain me again, you fool!
Wash me!
Dry me!
Fold me!
Dare to put me away!
Ha Ha!
Dirt eludes me 
spin cycle consumes me
and downy freshness
falsifies reality

Until I tumble
into tomorrow
slightly shrunken
needing to be stretched

In order to fit
the privilege of beading
as I start the thankful cycle
once more

Having a little fun with my reality by submitting this to all the fun over at One Shot Wednesday.  Oh the wonderful words of poets.  Come see for yourself!
