Charming Patterns

Life, in layman’s terms is merely that…life It is a means to an end, a diversion of daily consequence A planned out, researched, blueprinted and stamped happening that all of us, who are still here, live in Life can be a series of costly calamities or if you look past the requirements and rules, a collection of charming patterns They can be seen everywhere if you open your eyes in a corn field row meandering through a sunny pasture, crisscrossing lines in vibrant green that move in the wind Or something as common as a brick wall, charming patterns created to secure an area or set boundaries on a backyard garden Each brick follows the lead of the one placed before it and offers guidance to the next in line Though some may not find them as charming as others, it is all in how you look at them A gathering of books on a shelf, high to low, wide to narrow or grandma’s quilt…now you must agree, that can be very charming To some, life is life and that is all you need to know, but to others life is a series of charming patterns…finding them is like finding life itself For it is what it is…make it charming For the: Charming Patterns Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward
