You have been wiggled
You’ve been sifted cleaned out and weighed
Each grain examined you were found wanting
Your feet too shuffling your teeth too evolved
Slow rip and hide under your mantle
Poked and shushed over tut-tut rejected.
Meant to be read each column separately but also across the two columns. Very much unlike those who are unable to think outside the box.

This really is very clever!
Thank you! I always enjoy playfulness in poetry too so decided to try it myself.
You have achieved it with aplomb, madam!
Really clever and creative. This must have taken you some time to get the lines to work across and down
Ah, what makes you think it didn’t all come out perfectly at first attempt… 😉
Maybe it was all the crumpled paper at your feet??
Oh, this is very clever indeed, Marina Sofia! Playful, but at the same time, it really gives ‘food for thought…’
Sadly, all too topical as well…
Concur with the rest – clever! And sadly also too realistic… 🙂
