Its April of 2017 and Day 18 of A to Z Challenge. I am doing Idiom a day and 8 line poem for the idiom.
Idiom: Rule of Thumb
Meaning: broadly accurate guide or principle, based on practice rather than theory
Poem:
Between he and she,
Amid the fights,
Wrongs and the rights,
Amid the joys,
Hops and the cries,
In a successful marriage,
Rule of thumb is,
Fingers are uneven.
Note: All the challenge prompts can be found HERE.
Haha – love the last line!

This was rule of thumb, let me give you rule of index – if one points out other three are directed towards self. Enjoyed reading it.

Very nicely done, PH–and by the way, I found a little article on idioms today, which points out the fallacies within a number of them. It’s in a magazine (not read online), but if there’s a link, and you’re interested–I’ll find it for you.

I like the quirky twist at the end. It works well as an observation on marriage especially the way you used it to explore and comment on your chosen idiom in the poem.

I was unable to get a link for the Reader’s Digest magazine article I read, re idioms (May 2017). The title is “Six Idiotic Idioms–and What’s Wrong with Them”, by Brandon Spector. Maybe you’ll have better luck finding it 🙂
