Inspired by a recent evening of wine and poetry, with thanks to the Enthusiasts!

Rumi got us talking
Amongst the many poets, Rumi got us talking,
In his odd, provoking way, and laughing.
On the three types of women (which am I?)
With the young women arguing,
Justifying, laughing, and the older marrieds
… quiet.
And the silly choice of life path
Choosing play over power and pay.
And we think of their opinions,
Of our options, choices made.
And the Sheik laughs on his pony,
Ponies kick, he rides a stick.
And our evening lit by far-off stars and traffic,
Dew damp grass cools our warm feet.
