Wood maid (96)

She whittles away at a piece of wood —
Always with a mind of focus and an eye for detail.
Her little man of oak and chiseled features
Emerges from a thick dried branch;
Hand-worked annihilation,
Wood-chips spattered about —
Tung oil finish, and he’s done.

She reaches for another piece
Of hard wood.

Fine poem. Wood in process, work in process. And, in a way, another being in process too. Greetings.

Do check my poems if you feel inclined to :) .

There is also a nod to the naughty in this peice too. ;)

Thank you kindly and as I said on your blog, it's nice to meet you, and welcome.

And so, naughty piece is certainly not wooden, even if conceived from wood ;) .

:: giggles:: treu. :P

Hahaha. Side question - is wood capable of laughing? ;)

Symbolically, yes, and perhaps in the fringe sector of some sciences being explored…

Upvoted, of course. And i like minimalism, too :) .

Yes, you are not kidding. :)
