Marty Owens Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Now

It's so hard nowadays.
To keep things in control.
I'm thinking how some say,
That you should know your soul.
It's not how much we pay,
But it's how much we pray!

You can live your life,
Try to please your wife.
Living for the Lord,
No one can be bored.
But there's always strife.

You say free you.
But that's not wise.
For if we do, 
You live in lies!

Tomorrow
Bring your mop!
Clean the slop!

Today
You pay!

NOW!

Carolyn Devonshire February 25, 2010 at 10:26 AM Really like the message here, Marty! This is a verse form I've never tried, but you seem to have mastered it. Maybe I can learn from this fine example. Nice work! Love, Carolyn
