Have Time

By merb010

“What is this life

so full of care,

We don’t have time

to stand and stare.”

― W.H. Davies,

Elfje: (Cinquain)

see

if possible

hear if thinkable

words can become visual

listen

Haiku:

in every season

find a moment of quiet

natures time to rest

Poem:

the poet was obvious
it was his life story
he sought for the vainglorious
always looking for the right allegory

parents did the best they could
neighborhood tussles and puppy love
school influenced as it should
too short to be heads above

more schooling, mostly party time
learned about sex, his ruin
no ladder of success did he ever climb
selfish, self-centered, never a union

mumble, stumble, hiding in fear content to blend into nothing too proud to ever shed a tear emotions were for the stuffing

blessed by a Higher Power he found there was a solution a great fall from the ivory tower time for penance and retribution

guilt and shame swept off the street humility learned by serving others a transformation totally complete glad to be a part of a band of brothers

finally, just blessed to be so, so average
