    Good write PL. Why did I cut the corner off an envelope? The cheque fell out. Doh!

    • Poetic Licence

      Do they still do cheques, thank you for your feedback, very much appreciated

      • orchidee

        Yes, still in use. Another old one is 'Do they still use fax machines?'

        This is far deeper than the simple and fun verse that it appears to be. There is deep meaning and wisdom in its child innocent illustration. Psychological and sociological as well as ethical implications. It is in the most simple that the profound resides. Lovely a fave

          A square peg would fit is a larger circle to accommodate its unique protrusions- nest of both worlds perhaps, not perfect but workable. Pardon the imagination 💭 brought to the poetic table.🙏🏻🕊

                    Dang! But, but, but--I love cutting corners. Every angle you can configure on that term, I love engaging. Besides, I'm forever the square peg in the round hole. La dee! What a handful you've given me to process in such a bitty stanza! Sweetly rendered in brevity with excellently tasteful imagery and a damning poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

                      A poem with rather deep implications
                      Well-versed.
