i seal glass inside my wound to instill values and ethics...i am particularly glad i do not have her job...but having boys of my own...and not being a bum on the couch, i understand her job...smiles.
Oh, a mother's wounds are many when she determines to teach her children things of lasting importance.....but the scars are worth it in the end. What a beautiful and meaningful response to such a challenging photo prompt!!
The image that stood out the most for me was sealing the glass in the wound...does it make it more visible..or harder to heal...a clever and thoughtful poem
Ah yes, another day (this glass is strongly sealed) for her indeed, my mind reads between each line, clever work, and thankfully you dressed her! Hehehe!

Sunday Whirl~Weekly Wordle clowns and dolls
fill the stairwell
another burst
of frantic work
unplugged
vacuum emits no sound
wrapped in fleece
i seal glass
inside my wound
attempting to instill
values and ethics
i corral the cherubs
with resignation
we dress for the day
to tumble through
clowns and dolls
fillingthe stairwell

thank you Madame Stephen King.. for the conjuring of the evil clowns... now i am wondering why she has flip flops on and naked as a jay bird..

Enjoyed your use of the words. However, dolls and clowns terrify me.

I also like a word (not on your list but yours) i corral the cherubs, as only a good mother can do!

Powerful vacuum cleaner - seemed to have sucked up her clothes! Nice one.
