doodles. (osi)

' mundanity '

a puny sun trots on paper skies
that squelching on the slush
laughs with the gurgle
of a washing machine ,
thoughts of antibiotics
mingle with the school-time rush ,
with the white and yellow ,
give the omelette a tan ,
and talk of the summer ,
under a cloud's doodle
moms' daily artwork
alive and kicking ..

"under a clouds' doodle" is my favorite lines, I do like the different arrays of thoughts coming and going

This feels very familiar; yet new and fresh. Nice job here!

I love the way this takes off on a flight of fancy from the childlike drawing of a sun in the first line. My favourite lines are 'this tan on the omelette/talks of summer' because it pulled me up and made me think.

Hi Zoya, I came last night. After reading both posts I decided to come back this morning to read some more. I liked both versions, there is more for our interpretation in the second.
My interpretation is of a young person, perhaps still a child, who has many different memory reflections of Mom coming out in his/her doodles? Am I close?
Thank you for posting these, they have been fun reading. :-)
