Cape

spilleronsheet

Appearance on  sleeve

So shall you be under a veil?

 

do clothes decide 

maybe looks decide

No judge by cover

why wear deception on ears?

 

that red veil

that blush on your cheek

those extra flesh

that bulge everywhere

 

don’t judge by cover

 a moral book of words

actions defy

so does your glare

appearance on your sleeve

 

working all night

with panda eyes

Eating like a bear

moving like a sloth

which zoo do you belong ?

appearance on your sleeve

 

moral books 

the new fantasy tales

lessons taught for kindergartens 

only to be a seal

never to believe

never to abide

 

moral books,

mere foundations of fading time…….

  • dusk arising

    Looks? What a decietful disguise is this - our given birthright. I look nothing like i ought. Or is it because I look this way that my insides, my mind, my perception has striven to be so different?

    Thought provoking stuff spiller.

      Well you loaded with me so many curiosities inside….looks like I am moving towards spirituality…thanks dear dusk….now we land up in thoughts…

      Dear Spiller

      "working all night
      with panda eyes
      Eating like a bear
      moving like a sloth
      which zoo do you belong ?
      appearance on your sleeve"

      Very humorous on the same side your simile's are mind blowing. Totally loved the poem. All the best Spiller.
      Sport , Confidence on your Sleeve
      Then everything is under the veil..:)

        Sadly, I've seen kids like this, little creations heading for a mental breakdown before they reach 12.
        Social media, really should be shot.

        • spilleronsheet

          Social media needs medicines and vaccine to prevent many a disease harming children and teens…so very rightly said dear Paul…

        • Neville


          I simply love the title and it gets even better as one reads through each strategically well placed word and also, what lays there, between the lines too ....... Neville

          • spilleronsheet

            Thanks dear Neville…obvious was that red riding wore the cape, obvious was the wolf wore one…one got deceived and other tried to be victorious….the cape we wear on our sleeves…..
