L Milton Hankins Poet Light Verse

Peccadilloes

At the edges of everyone’s being
Are those perfect little surprises,
Lying in wait to be discovered
By unsuspecting enterprises.
Perfectly delightful peccadilloes
Sometimes wearing odd disguises
Small things that make our day
Shared with us like token prizes.

Jenna Logan November 4, 2022 at 9:32 AM I like surprises, but only the ones that make me smile. I don't live a Pollyanna life, so taking the bad with the good is something we must accept. Soup mail L Milton Hankins November 4, 2022 at 10:48 AM You're certainly right about that!
