Staring at woodgrain ~ — ~
What hath brute strength wrought ~ — ~
Ponder gnarled grain ~ — ~
The least resistance ~ — ~
Sunlight on woodgrain, ~ — ~
Cabriole Bossa Nova ~ — ~
The Roubo stands strong ~ — ~
Finesse in silence ~ — ~
Ying and Yang of wood ~ — ~
The sharp rasp quickens ~ — ~

chatoyance dances with light–
the beauty revealed.
where finesse has shown cunning?
wisdom, woodworker.
twisting, turning, catching light
the path is simple.
sharpness is known to coerce
wood can only sigh.
Second line jazz New Orleans
such vivid splendor!
They dance so free standing still–
Femininity.
Awaiting the woodworkers–
Imagination.
unneeded wood whisks away–
Sculpture revealed.
Who is the master of which?
Contest never over.
woodgrain tamed beneath its grasp–
shaped beauty springs forth.
listen, the wood beckons you–
now make some shavings.
Wood chips disappear to vac
Get back to work now.







Heh, that’s pretty good. Thanks for the good read.
