Snow White

half empty half fool
she consumed silver linings
from magic mirrors

Hi nar,

Not sure I entirely get the significance of consumed silver linings - I'm thinking this relates to SW finding her prince which then turns the piece on its head from what I thought it to be about, i.e. the foolishness of vanity and the superficial, though the title doesn't suggest this either. Not so Snow White might - more of a sneering comment about empty-headed fools being rewarded. I found the opening line inspired, and the final one good, so think something more is needed in between.

Gnomic, Neil. It's an attractive read, but I'm still trying to untangle the complexities. Which is pretty good going for three lines.

Cheers

Hey, Moth.

Thanks for that. Useful to know where I've missed.

S'bout an addict.

Thanks, David.

You know what I'm like, trying to cram a lot into a few, as ever.

Cheers...

G'day Nar,

Ah! that explains it, not so gnomic after all. I must learn to think more laterally, like our lepidopteran friend I took the title too literally. Packs a lot in a small space.
Best, c.
