Ms Maybe

Can't ask a man, a woman, or anyone... to change who they are overnight. But for you, if you did, I'd try. Leaves turn to green, as if by some magic spell do they know why... Crickets trumpeting the cicadas return Ol man sun hangs higher in the sky. Stood holding my cap a long time waiting the judges to make up their mind. though just knew nothing good would come of it still I pressed.., as you guessed, needing to know what fate and jury had in store, waited patiently all three... Ms. Yes, Ms. No, Ms. Maybe. Is it odd that I find that strange(?)

Hi Richard, I have been in the jury pool, but never on a jury. Anyway, I’m too old now to be on a jury. I like that idea a lot, a lot)) If I were on a jury, we would never agree- so it’s a blessing it never happened. What a great idea you had writing a poem about this. Pangie

What a contemplative poem. We try so hard to to change or morph ourselves to fit it, to be accepted by a judgmental society, as we eagerly await in anticipation for their acceptance, acquittal or conviction. I too find that strange…..

Don't get me into this conversation. I refuse to ever go on another jury. A good poem, though.
