Keep Those Broken Shards

 

Although the rice bowl might be broken

 Way beyond repair

Don’t dare throw those shards away

 

 

Take heed my friend and listen to these words

Then do precisely as I say

 

 

Sew one piece discretely

Inside the sleeve of your kimono

Then place another in my pillow

 

 

Wear one

Wrapped in silk and leather

Loosely tied around your ankle

 

 

Together

 These three things will keep forever

All bad spirits and poor lovers

From your bedroom

OOOOOOO, this sound a bit like a spell! But, like a lot of symbolic actions, I think if you believe they will work, they will work! But seriously I do like your symbolism of the broken rice bowl. It can be a metaphor for many things, and I am sure that treasuring the shards is the best thing to do. Nicely done.

Bless ya Margie, very much appreciated. Go on give it a try.........All Good Things, Neville
I never heard of rice bowl shards turning into amulets! This is new to me. I will try as soon as I break a rice bowl ( I believe any thing you say) what (a mischievous) wonderful suggestion, and brilliant poem!
