Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind
TRIM, slim, and shiny
I search and rummage
through the vanity
my nails all grimey
Trim claw-like integument
clip--clip-- snip and clip
get them all in shape
file them, keep them squared
TRIM, slim, and shiny
back into the vanity
the drawer is never tidy
my nails no longer grimy

I'm glad someone's integuments are trim. It's all right for some, having trim integuments! I might faint if I didn't know what they were. lol.
True, they are 'unsightly' or more correctly 'unhearly' words hahaha
Brilliant!
this is deep, dear Poet:
'cleanliness is next to godliness'
while soldiers, must
be in uniform to be and act, 'as one'..
while society's first impressions
are dependant on clean shoes and
trimmed nails..
meanwhile our cupboards, just can't
get clean!
(deep!
could unpack this all day long..
well done!)
There is that public ready part of the self and the other part that rarely gets into the spotlight. Thanks L.B.
Nice poem
Thanks Osei. You are much appreciated.
I suppose, because they are always on display, we need to keep them neat and tidy. But they do have a very evolutionary basis. We can do so many things with them; grow them, cut them, buff them, paint them, chew them, scratch with them, peel labels with them. What would we do without them?
Exactly! Thanks Bella 🙏🏻💅🏻
