Over and Done

.

"Dont

over finish

your work.

There is value

to done.”

.

~   Paul Gauguin

Elfje:            (Cinquain)          classic: each word only one syllable

.

work

to act

make it run

while you have fun

play

weather is perfect
a time to go out and play
beautiful day

ignoring world chaos
democracy is alive

.

Poem:

.

sunshine and rainbows, another beautiful day
the lucky have nothing to do but play
everyone can enjoy nature at it’s best
given life, every soul has been blessed

precipitation and wind, the weather is miserable
only the ducks may deem it considerable
the weather is good as a conversation piece
guess right or wrong the odds will never increase

the smart are patient knowing that water is life
the tolerant are able to avoid the strife
the wise do not discuss politics or religion
being careful not to expose the family addiction

ignore the weather it is about to change
most opinions are useless and usually strange
today, love, forgive, be patient, tolerant and kind
let only peace and happiness cross your mind

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

,

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

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
