Today’s word is “realia” ... ree-ey-lee-uh ... objects, as coins, tools, etc., used by a teacher to illustrate everyday living. (Dictionary.com)
Word
Gather the realia,
Show the people what you mean,
This business of parables,
Is much harder than it seems.
Will they get the point?
Will they understand?
It’s not about the seeds you plant,
Or the layout of the land.
Birds that swoop and steal the seeds,
Ground that dries to dust,
Betray our only heart’s desire,
And our lack of trust.
