NaBloPoMo Day 6 - Shields

I knew I was going to end up posting this one at some point, and it jumped out at me again today.  The prompt was a meditation on a natural object.

The chestnut burr
Holds its spikes close
Like a shield
Designed to protect
The delicate nut inside
Just as I
Joke around
So no one can see
How vulnerable I am
Inside.
