time fly’s

making sweet music

when you’re having fun

eternity

mechanical invention

not the real season

Poem:

.

did Frost care about his legacy
as an American icon in his own time
was Poe ever concerned about his identity
as an editor he offended very many

the poet laments man’s frailty
founded on historic and trending times
lemmings dressed as soldiers bravely
lying on hearts and minds weighty

most never notice that life goes on
consumed with ego and pressing demands
not the sharpest in the box of crayon
like a tortoise into their shell withdrawn

there are two sides to every coin
to be politically correct, bi-polar
the mind has it’s own life to purloin
dramatic pretenses trying to be soigne

is it a discussion or an argument
will there be a winner or a loser
males driven by the domestic termagant
or is she just the trophies ornament

the diplomatic never gives in to either side
inspiration for the next installment
is there a soul who has never lied
it is not our wants that life will provide

forget the legacy, let us just play pretend
lose the identity and be the chameleon
who cares, life is nothing but a tiny godsend
enjoy this chance, be a loving dividend.

POEM :    

(Prose w/ some rhymes and a little meter mixed in)

Getting out of bed
happy to greet the day
good thoughts going through the head
is it time to work or time to play

Inspired to do it alone
or is the team required
planning to follow the stepping stone
seeking an outcome to be admired

Stymied by reality
expense versus practicality
time to switch to plan “B”
searching for the missing key
two steps forward, one step back
trying to avoid the heart attack

Close, but no cigar
do not lose the dream
keep shooting for the star
avoid going to the extreme

And when the day is done
count your blessings one by one
say thank you God for giving me the chance
and ask for the strength to face tomorrows
song and dance.
