Little World

Little World

Little world was already shrinking
It’s getting smaller by the minute
Age is diminished too inside a cube shaped room
There are fewer and fewer items to count
Most things are gone or missing due to thieves
Memories are listed on five fingers
Nothing really important to point out

1.)	 I remember song and rhythm
2.)	 Divisions taking life down in size
3.)	 Babies come to mind because they cry
         They are very small all the time
         Come from a tiny world, compact and derisive

4.)	 I remember wife and children… They should be #1
5.)	 God comes to mind.  Allies large and small are good to have

Less things in existence makes perfect sense
Like water, life evaporates, becomes something else

Remember to take a pill, small and gray
With that clear wet stuff in the glass over there
A small thing to remember
Little chance I’ll forget that

Hi Olive, Thank you so much for your observations. I will take your critique under advisement. It is my nature to create or depict strange slices of life for fun, entertainment and to portray a different perspective. I'm glad you found some merit in my poem. I appreciate your honesty. Have a pleasant day. Take care. Earl

Hi Maurice, Thank you so much. I really enjoyed composing this one. It is a little on the eclectic and strange side but I'm ok with that. Glad you enjoyed it. Take care. Earl
