Eshu's Lesson

She’s wearing red;
  no, she’s wearing blue.
She has tattoos;
  no, she’s unblemished.

Perspective is everything.



Author notes

Eshu is a trickster-deity, and plays frequently tempting choices for the purpose of causing maturation. Eshu is the deity with the power over fortune and misfortune.
Option 3.

    very interesting take on the prompt. An excellent one though.. perspective is everything you are quite correct on that. how one views things another may not see the same thing.. a trickster huh, I never knew that ..

    Outstanding take on the prompt, excellent poem

    good luck in the contest

    A deity in which culture's pantheon? I'm used to dealing with Maug's Eris, from where I know not. Probably very old and Celtic. Whence cometh Eshu? I may like the poem better when she takes her place apart from Loki and Coyote and Pan.
