The Day Worth Living

.

“It was only a sunny smile,

and little it cost in the giving,

but like morning light

it scattered the night

and made the day

worth living.”

.

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

purpose

anticipated outcome

guided planned actions

quality of being determined

intention

Tanka:             5-7-5, 7-7

.

what really happened

unraveling mystery

count only the facts

it was not a fairy tale

no trolls or ogres involved

.

Poem:

.

to write a ditty
you must be witty

sarcasm is not included in the flow
crazy should come from the elbow

to be a wit you should never submit
but to others wit you should admit

when in doubt just write the pun
you will find that it is so much fun

so when your words begin to fail
just go to the local rummage sale

Above The Willow

.

“Amory took to writing poetry

on spring afternoons,

in the gardens of the big estates

near Princeton,

while swans made effective atmosphere

in the artificial pools,

and slow clouds sailed harmoniously

above the willow.”

.

― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

synergistically

as one

together we stand

birds of a feather

harmoniously

narcissistic character

Poem:  Ecstasy

.

floating in another dimension
viewing life with condescension

things not controlled, ignored
never consider being bored
very little that needs to be restored

life is such a nebulous It
what would you do without It
can one forgive and forget It
believe that some are counterfeit

who plans one’s life journey
could each decision use an attorney
are blessings only for those who are worthy

who controls our destiny
fake it until you make it, ecstasy
