Don’t Be Sorry

.

“Live,

travel,

adventure,

bless,

and don’t be sorry.”

.

~ Jack Kerouac

Elfje:            (Cinquain)

.

question

why me

why not me

a Higher Power’s design

everything

.

Tanka:             5-7-5, 7-7

.

do not pity me

God has a purpose for all

love consumes all things

try to do His will

do the next right thing

.

Poem:             The “Décima” is a Spanish style or form of musical poetry
that contains 10 lines of eight syllables.
The style has a rhyming pattern of abbaaccddc.
You (as I have done here) can break the stanza up in abba/accd/dc.

.

the music begins quietly
the beat is measured and steady
the dancers are poised and ready
their steps are made so silently

every move made decisively
all builds to a loud crescendo
no hint of an innuendo
a quadrille for merry lancers

smiles, laughter for band and dancers
finally a decrescendo

Emotional Concept

.

“One writes a poem

when one is so taken up

by an emotional concept

that one is unable

to remain silent.”

.

― Stephen Dobyns

.

.

Elfje:

.

feelings

a thought

from the heart

that energizes the body

emotions

.

Haiku:

.

ashes to ashes

the seasons recycle good

nature never wastes

.

Poem:

.

Sorry doesn’t cut it
mistakes can be avoided
thinking is not where you sit
excuses among the disappointed

Sorry has a meaning that is right
wretched, poor, useless, or pitiful
the drunken bum was a sorry sight
for many souls this status is typical

Sorry then becomes a choice
to feel regret for someones troubles
or to seek a way out of your patois
excuses  to avoid your selfish struggles

Sorry is to be used when you mean it
not spoken to cover your lies
don’t use the word as a habit
to use other words would be wise

and when all else fails
“excuse me” will usually do

.

Note: When someone tells me they are sorry,

I usually agree with them, using the right definition.
