Patricia Cresswell Poet Free verse

Ah Yes That Is Why

Ah yes that is why

perhaps because he/she/it knew 
we would be quicksilver,
never satisfied with what is,
It created seasons.

Just for starters 
tides came first of course
ebbing then filling back
into the places 
where it left no traces
from before.

Then came the need 
for snow, right after 
falling leaves, spring rains
summer blossoms.

It seems satisfaction
was out of reach. A flimsy
ephemeral thing never
staying for long. just long
enough to irritate the erratic.
for it was they who invented “too”.

Jannie Breedt August 15, 2017 at 3:50 AM Gobsmacked!!! You genius you!! Now where did this hail from? So devilishly clever. The title itself is so enticing and becomes the key to this pure art. I cheekily feel so happy Im the first to comment here. You really DO need better exposure Patricia Cresswell August 15, 2017 at 12:47 PM Its coming on winter here exposure might give me a chill and then a cold and then Oh my you don't want to see the mess of me with a cold. LOL! Patricia Cresswell August 15, 2017 at 9:11 AM Jannie my mind quirks that way. I notice the oddest things. Perhaps I write about them because if I told anyone in conversation they would have me locked up in a trice. But you see through to the message and thank you.
