it is what we do…

 

 

No awards for my musing

No blue ribbons or trophies bestowed

Just more debt and bills I owe

I owe, I owe

It is off to work I go


And


Go


And


Go


And


Go


You get the picture

No whining

No crying

Just  a moment in time


Wait no


I have a winner

I am off on my own time

I’ll have another drink

That I for poured myself

So, sublime

By myself I am very self sufficient

I feel like I’m on top of the world

It is all how you perceive things


So, I go and read those masters of the words

You know the names

The awards and accolades


Hardly, I am not like them

I have no plaques on the wall

No letters by my name


Though, I am not yielding

I am a poet too

as are they

as are you

as are we


it is who we are


in the darkest night a shining star


it is what we do


to your own self be true…

Uplifting!

I have one poetry plaque: To Stella L. Cruise for Being H.I.P - after my anthology of 65 Detroit poets who read for the Horizons In Poetry series, HIPology. The publisher misspelled my name. Go figure! Poets rock! - slc
