Chasing Chickens

I smile As I hear kids outside chasing chickens It's getting dark and its time to put the chickens inside The kids run excitedly, all over like the chickens Sometimes singing songs At times shouting schemes of how to catch the chickens I ponder As I look at my life On this cool May evening Resting on my bed listening to the outside sounds of the kids and the chickens Tomorrow's another day, tomorrow's another decision Am excited, I feel excited, I want to write and sing songs Chasing chickens has become my new venture I only hope me and the chickens will end up in a happy place

I love your metaphorical take of chasing chickens, Njeri. I do hope that henceforth, you will live life spontaneously and only do the things that really make you happy. HUgs! 7. Kim

Hi Njeri! Lovely poem; chasing chickens can be as entertaining as several other things:) ...better than chasing impossible dreams! I believe that going after simple things can make our life fulfilling. // paul

Yes chasing chickens is pretty fun. Its just the fear of where it may end. But like you say, its way better than chasing impossible dreams. Thank u Paul.
