Summary:
when somethings get just a little bit too close to make them write, they don't have to be wrong, it's alright .. it's all to do with proximity and what takes one's fancy .. maybe 😎👍

A Few of My Favourite Juxtapositions

It was an umbrella

   for sure ..

But she called it her

   parasol ..

I called it a tank top

But she

   called it a camisole ..

We made

love in the afternoon

as soon as

   the rain had stopped ..

But still

she insisted the light

   stayed off ..

One things for sure tho’

something

did always got lost in

   translation ..

Life today just seems

to be one

long pose and a series

of less than

   obvious juxtapositions ..

    1. Different interpretations of the same things always make for interesting experiences. And frustrating. I enjoyed the flow of this. Oddly like the rain in the middle, capped by the brolly 😊

      • Oh’ wow, bless my soul thanks for kindly checking in & giving my little scribble a peek .. I shall return the favour and look forward to catching up with you again in the future ma’am .. In the meantime, here’s me wishing you all the very best of All Good Things .. Neville 😎👍

    2. A little bit of this and a little bit of that, and between the differences lies a connection and that connection can lead to sooo many adventures and possibilities. How do we learn about each other? Isn’t it through those “juxtapositions” that we come to know and appreciate each other?? The key, I think, is not just the different translations, but that we are willing to listen and hear and learn what they are saying. I sometimes think we are a room full of “statements” and way too little “whys”. I think your poem points to what is possible, if we grab hold of those “juxtapositions”. Excellent writing Neville.

    3. “something
      did always got lost in
      translation .. ”
      Something I can relate to, Differences can add excitements and fun but at other times it lead to misunderstanding. Anyway, it’s a truth that life is not one colour, it’s endless of colours, and that’s the beauty of it.
