Only for sport,
just for fun,
I throw you
hard to have
you return.
Spinning,
whirling,
around and
around, my
boomerang
comes back
to me, each
and every time.
Capable of pain, Red Spot II, Wallisy Kandinsky
capable of maim,
but I only wield you
for the joy and game.
When I saw the prompt for Mag 102, I immediately saw boomerangs! My entry for Magpie Tales: http://magpietales.blogspot.com/

/ January 30, 2012nice…for most of this you seem to capture a dance as well…and yeah the game carries a certain level of risk for sure…hopefully no one gets maimed…smiles.
Bodhirose
/ January 30, 2012Not only used for fun but for actual hunting…so, yeah, can definitely cause pain…and maim. :(
Sue Anderson
/ January 30, 2012I saw a boomerang, too, though I went with a second impression.
Enjoyed this!
=)

/ January 31, 2012I’m glad I wasn’t the only one! Thanks for coming by and I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)

/ January 30, 2012Delightful! And serendipitous too. I’m working on a post right now called “Boomerang.” Go figure… :)
Bodhirose
/ January 30, 2012Isn’t that funny… This reminded me that I have had dreams where I’m throwing a boomerang…I wonder what that was about???
booguloo
/ January 30, 2012The picture reminds me of what damage a boomerang could do. But I like your interpretation better…
Bodhirose
/ January 30, 2012I agree.. :) Thanks, Michael.
ManicDdaily
/ January 30, 2012Oh, dear. Well, I’m thinking of love, of course; a difficult relationship. K.
Bodhirose
/ January 30, 2012That picture does look like a difficult relationship, K…you did good!
Helen
/ January 30, 2012OH I saw those boomerangs too … colorful, playful .. delightful (as is your Magpie.)
Bodhirose
/ January 30, 2012I usually go with the first thing that pops into my mind…boomerangs…I think they’re very cool.
Thank you very much, Helen.
dragonkatet
/ January 30, 2012Excellent interpretation! I think the only boomerang I would feel comfortable throwing would be of the Nerf variety. :) No maiming or pain with those!
Bodhirose
/ January 31, 2012Actually, me too…soft and spongy. :)
Tumblewords
/ January 31, 2012Very nice!
Bodhirose

Inside the Mind of Isadora
/ January 31, 2012This is a fun poem … I like that you see boomerangs.
It is so different from what I would have seen.
Cute … !!!!
Bodhirose
/ January 31, 2012It’s the first shape that jumped out at me so I went with it. I also see Michael’s koala…
I wonder what you do see, Izzy…?
Inside the Mind of Isadora
/ February 1, 2012It looks like a distorted face. Distorted because it is smiling so intensely that the face becomes misshaped. The eys are the two circles; the nose is the red triangle; the mouth is the colorful booerang shape and the birght color seem really, really happy.
The imagination running wild …
Toodles
Bodhirose
/ February 1, 2012I see that too…now that you point it out! Thanks for sharing, friend! xoxo
Inside the Mind of Isadora
/ January 31, 2012OOOOppppssss …. forgot to say that I like your new blog page
background and shells at the top.
It looks placid and relaxing.
Hugs,
Izzy xoxo
Bodhirose
/ January 31, 2012Thanks. I decided to go with something brighter. That photo is a bowl of shells that I’ve found on the Gulf coast over the years…it’s in my living room. :) xoxo
Heaven
/ January 31, 2012Nice way of looking at it….and I like the new “house”…very light to the eyes ~
Bodhirose
/ January 31, 2012Thank you…and yes, I decided to try something lighter over here for a change…I’m glad you like.
