Should
do this
for dreams
to gain this
like we did
in our time
in our prime
Are you trying
Nothing worth having
comes easy
and you’ll sleep
when you’re dead
Look here
aren’t you glad
Thoughts & prayers
Go this way
not your way
It’s you
or them
and there’s not
enough for both
Over the shoulder
fate altered my course
Bends of loss
a portent of
rebirthing
Spun in a labyrinth
Where I colored my enclosure
with future and rose
Only
internal spaces
exist uninterrupted
by crisis
by celebration
Only
through places
sublimely untamed
by logic
by caution
Only
creation embraces
undeniably unhindered
by them
by me
by us
Flip flops for slippers
Swimsuits for fleece
Charcoal for salt
Blonde for brunette
Sunshine for candlelight
Fireworks for Christmas lights
Open windows for crackling fires
BBQ for casseroles
Playgrounds for trampolines
Speed for caution
Noise for serenity
Summer’s memories stored
Winter awaits
Because it is National Poetry Writing Month I thought I would craft a poem for the first time in over 30 years. That is my disclaimer in case you were expecting something spectacular.
Myth
Ugly is beautiful
Intelligence is common
Obesity is comfortable
Cowardice is safe
Honesty is a virtue
A fellow blogger who writes an exquisite blog about Rome sent me the following poem. Reading it reminded me of how powerful I am, how immeasurably magnificent all women are. I hope it does the same for you.
I am the woman – By Kathy Elliot
I am the woman who is unstoppable
I am the woman
Whose dreams are immeasurable
I am the woman
Of a different breed, unbelievable
I am the woman
Of all times, incredible
I am a woman
With passion and purpose, unspeakable
I am the woman
Who decides where I should fall
In this universe, unpredictable
I am the woman
Who refuse to lessen my dreams
To meet man’s expectation, inconceivable
I am a woman
Of greatness and this greatness
Should never be compromise, remarkable
I am that GREAT WOMAN.
Lost in Town is not a typical travel blog, but rather an online holiday due to the writer’s use of language and beautiful photos. I encourage you to visit Rome at: http://lostintown.wordpress.com/
