Kenneth Cheney Poet Couplet

Failure To Start

I would love to write for you,
An epic poem about something new.

Every time I search my mind,
There’s nothing new that I can find.

So, I’ve penned some rhyming drivel.
But, before you whine, scoff, and snivel.

Pay attention to the wisdom I now impart.
The greatest failure of man; is the failure to start!

Gershon Wolf June 18, 2021 at 12:54 PM That's right. We don't have to finish the work necessarily; but we're not exempt from getting started --- and then, of course, it IS a good idea to finish what one starts. And Away we Write, gw Kenneth Cheney June 21, 2021 at 6:02 AM Right on Gershon, write on!

Richard Lamoureux June 18, 2021 at 7:42 AM Sometimes I put down a single line and just see where it leads me. Yes you are indeed wise. Kenneth Cheney June 21, 2021 at 6:00 AM Yes Richard, I do that as well. Even taken to typing a line or thought on my phone notes occasionally
