Jo Hayton Poet Rhyme

Nothing In Particular

The sun awakes him
Without worry or shame
Wish I could say I smell the roses
That my life is just the same

But he carries on
Enriched by nothing at no cost
I never had him in the first place
So how can I claim to have lost

His endless games make me alert
He's nothing in particular to achieve
I crash out amidst his callousness
I've really nothing up my sleeve

My silence is golden
My armour suited up to boot
There's nothing in particular I want to say 
My distance now absolute

Gordon Jo Hayton July 14, 2022 at 1:20 PM Thankyou for lovely comments Gordon, was quick poem I wrote last night, just liked the 'Nothing in particular ' line so worked round it. It's not been too hot here but weekend will tell.
