Rush?

daily prompt, Poetry 1 Minute

Rush? Rush?

Must I be quick?

Or is another meaning hid?

 

The basket mid the rushes hid

Is that where baby Moses is?

 

Or could the rushes hide a trap

That heedless prey may stumble on?

 

Or just be laid there on the floor

Soft bedding for a gentle nap?

 

The lesson is that fools rush in

First take a pause and then begin.

I am a regular contributor to Wattpad where I write as andrewagreen. My first two collections on Wattpad were featured. My first published book Margaret’s Story - a biography of my mother in verse is available on Amazon. I live near Windsor, Berkshire and have offered my services, so far unsuccessfully, as the next Poet Laureate.
