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

Regarding your last question, Andrea. A wiser man than I will ever hope to be once said to me: "No man knows when he is to die - And a Bl..dy good job too"!! I enjoyed the poem, Andrea. My very best regards! :) john
