0n Writing & W0rd$

when things are going well
seems writing is boring as hell

do you truly care to read
when there is not great need

why does gloom
carve out so much more room

so to force myself to write 
I draw an angel card every night

within that tiny deck
find much opportunity to reflect

share a thought or two
tricks to kick being blue

kissed more than a few toads
been down too many tough roads

grateful for my life today
thrilled to be able to say

always love a good reminder
la dolce vita  & I could be kinder

'bout half way through the deck
different way to keep in check

discernment concerning time 
best spent making a rhyme

A very true and clever write. You're right, it's tough to write poetry when life is going well. Go figure! :-)
