Questions I'M Always Asking

trying to do
the things I adore
where did my hours all go

sometimes for hours
I work on a poem
what do I have to show

counting my carbs
and calories too
why is weight loss so slow

behind someone
while driving, I ask
how slow can one guy go

even at Soup
bad manners ensue
when will peace start to flow

of life and death -
the actual truth
will it be good to know

I find that driver almost everyday, very simple formula, speed limit + 10 but some just don't like to add. Congrats Andrea.

Hey Andrea, still enjoying your poems and I love this so much. I think these are questions we all ask ourselves (most especially the one about the slow driver!). Great writing and form. Best wishes in this contest too! Be Blessed, Neva
