Medley of Questionkus

I fall backwards
grasping at the air
will anyone catch me

jumping forward
into empty pool
why didn't I look first

I am foolish
learning the hard way
will it make me wiser

floating through life
somewhat unaware
is my ignorance bliss

she smiles at me
my heart skips a beat
do we want the same thing

fantasy girl
woman of my dreams
is she within my reach

moving too fast
removing my clothes
do I want her to stop

let me ponder
the things I have done
can I forgive myself

yesterday was
today is what is
what will tomorrow be

Thanks again Verlena, perhaps you will honour me by giving my form a try. I think you would do very well. Four syllables first line, five second and six on the third. The last line must be a question.

I love the questions. Many of these I have asked myself repeatedly over the years.

Your own form! What a delight to have your form acknowledged! Your questions are so deep. Some seem to be taken from my own heart! That last one is a grand finale, Richard. Lovely...as always!

It's the answer to why the vase is broken. I pointed out the guilty party without saying he did it. On my way to your Blog.

Don't think me simple, but I didn't get that metaphor so well! Will you explain?
