Good Intentions!

Life is amusing with many a twist,
turning and bending,
from the first 
to the last 
and back 
in a whirl,
a swirl,
of many 
good intentions.

Keeping the balance,
dancing the dance. 
Don't drop the ball!
Just one more chance!

The road to hell
is paved,
so I am told,
with many's 
good intentions!

The Wandering Poet ...

I used to write poetry,

or so I thought.

But my mind went off wandering,

my attention got caught.

 

I wandered the world

of mindless emotion.

Got caught in a place

devoid of creation.

 

And then, one day,

while looking around.

This place! I'd forgot!

But so glad I found.

So here, once again,

I stand, cap in hand.

As I try to remember

how to dance in the sand.

How to write and to dream,

how to reach into my soul.

How to write elegant poetry

as my ultimate goal!

Forgive me, my reader,

as I stumble and play.

As I struggle with words,

and just what to say ...

Elegantly Twirling

If you say you don't like it, I won't be offended.

If you think it's all rubbish, I won't be upended.

I'm quite self sufficient , or so I am told.

Strong in my opinion - possibly bold!

While writing my poetry I'm often quite dilly,

I never do 'serious' - it makes me feel silly.

The words often come to my mind in a whirl,

with fiddly bits and an elegant twirl.

Just putting them down is part of the game,

and having you read them is much of the same.
