PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

two poems

and three thoughts later

I somberly managed to pull myself

out of these choppy worrying waters

I was never one to well blend in with

all those incessant T-crossers and

fanatical i-dotters

give me gentle respite any day

over

rather say

hypocritical criticism

for me

the best lessons in life

were long ago taught by

my primary Sunday school teacher

the rest of it

was time filler

or trial and error

I learned from my own wretched mistakes

and in some moments I paid rather dearly

for such disregarded

'Life's Truancy'............
