Destiny

What am I doing
Here on this Earth
What is my purpose
What is my worth

Will I be famous
For something I do
Will I be wealthy
I haven’t a clue

Will taking the plunge
Or seizing the day
Or going for broke
Bring riches my way 

Am I a leader
Will I be led
I’ve made my decision…
I’m staying in bed

Deb M Date: 1/25/2025 5:01:00 PM Haha…..you're back!! A great poem and didn't expect that last line! King of the last liners is you!!! Ha….Debx Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 1/30/2025 3:52:00 PM I think ‘back’ might be pushing it, Deb. But it was nice to get something on paper - so to speak. For lack of new ideas I keep tweaking my slush pile to no avail. Just about managed to get a Rum and Raisin episode presentable…. Everything else is about ready for the delete button. Glad you enjoyed this tiny glimmer of light ;-)

Kim Rodrigues Date: 1/25/2025 4:29:00 PM Even staying in bed is a decision. I don’t think I will be wealthy, with years of clues…lol. Login to Reply Terry Flood Date: 1/25/2025 4:36:00 PM Always time, Kim. I’m putting my faith in the National Lottery. I just need to decide to buy a ticket!

Tom Woody Date: 1/25/2025 4:14:00 PM Perfect rhymes, perfect ending. Feels like a weener! Login to Reply Tom Woody Date: 1/25/2025 4:29:00 PM Same here. I can't write under compulsion. I just have to wait till something inspires me Terry Flood Date: 1/25/2025 4:21:00 PM Thanks, Tom. Im rarely (never) accused of undue brevity so I wasn’t sure I’d be up for this contest. But the fog cleared momentarily, allowing me to give it a go. Been a little ‘blocked’ lately so it’s good to get something down. Terry
