The Fate Peddler By: Karen Hecht Springer April 23, 2015 She heard the wagon’s wheels roar Peddler trading all his wares Knocking, knocking on her door With his remedies and cares When he got no answer Back down the road he went His horse a dainty dancer And, she, not having spent The time to meet Saw the butterfly that followed him Metamorphosis complete Rainbow wings a sunlit prism In the eagerness of pursuit It cares not where it goes She turns away, reties her boot Wondering what it knows

Sometimes the peddler is peddling false goods, so it is wise to know the difference.

That only comes with experience and intuition, and not a little observation.

I think I got the metaphor or the allegory in this intriguing bit of poetry. Kudos.

She missed it! Opportunity of a lifetime. Don't you hate it when that happens. She needed a new pepper mill anyway and, since she didn't answer the door quickly enough, now she has to eat the whole grounds, since she has no pepper mill that functions, to grind up the peppercorns. Just sayin'. ;-)

An interesting and intriguing write which, to me, has symbolism. Your verses awaken the thought process. Thank you for sharing, Karen. Love and best wishes,

Interesting to say the least is this mystery-laced poetry, Karen. First we wonder why she didn't let the peddler show her his wares (Oh my, that could be taken another way.) Then she becomes engrossed with the butterfly who was following the peddler, wondering what the peddler had that attracted the butterfly.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
