PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

oh, if only I had listened to the warn filled words of

the much too wise

then I wouldn't be here now fighting to free myself of

all these unnecessary lies

who gives a good grade for the best laid plans that

refuse to fly

where is the general logic in the big question of why

I had a large percentage of the proverbial all

but I apparently eyed the over a wee bit too long and the

souffle' was allowed a moment to fall

such mediocrity can be quite a blind sided blow to one's

jaw

now that I've been left in the lurch I can find no fire, fault or call

my opinions have been tarnished and tacked to the highest wall

I pray I will be given strength to rise above feeling so insignificant and small

and every last, little even sorted detail in full

clarity I will be able to recall............
