I Crossed the Road and It Was Worth It

I walked across the road Defiantly strode Arrived somewhere else To be alone with myself It's strange that's how I like to be When I'm definitively not a fan of me But I went inside Advised I must hide The packet of chocolate pretzels in hand I stated that I really do understand Put them in my pocket right away I'm a little compliant sunshine ray I wasn't looking for anything at all When I spotted an original Marc Chagall I'll definitely write about that later tonight I can't believe it was in my line of sight You can't tell by my face I'm thinking whoopie Sometimes emotion isn't that easy to see I'll stride back again now Start considering how I'll work through til 5 oclock Ahh that little treat in my pock(et) Will help me it's true Might get a Starbucks too

i think we all don't like something about ourselves, we are our own worst critics always... others always see beauty that we ourselves fail to see, yet i too like to be alone in nature, nice write!

Thank you Sandra - it would be an interesting day if everyone was able to see how others see them for a moment. Thank you for your kind words

We don't always like ourselves, so it is important to find someone who does, yet even that can be a struggle when the mind is not at peace... Hope you enjoyed the pretzels..

The pretzels were great, I'm quite lucky, people seem to like me without too much persuasion

Which finally brings resolution to the age-old question: Why did the Dilly cross the road? Glad you had a nice time. If you're getting Starbucks after 5 better make it a decaf

I skipped the Starbucks in the end as I'd promised to say important things at 2pm and didn't want to be late if there was a queue

Such a cute poem but difficult to read beyond 'chocolare pretzel'. I liked it.
