God's Blessing and Calamity

I comb my hair
to fit my head~now more
a chore of strands; walk
with my feet at different
angles, they seeming to like
it that way, making amusing
duck-tracks in the snow, steps
for the fox to sniff and blow, 
and a place where the bear can
snort and go – I cannot write
like Shakespeare...but I doubt
that he could write like me –
each of us having a personal
voice, God's blessing and
and calamity....

Thank you, Kim; my wife has another name for my voice sometimes. Not so complimentary:) I try always, too often, but a great singer I am not.

What a delight to begin my day! Acceptance is sweet in its bringing of peace and wit. A fine equation for poetry. Thank you for setting this down. I’ll bet Shakespeare has joined your heavenly smiling fan club! Hugs, Joe
