Phyllis Babcock Poet Rhyme

Roll of the Dice

It is  the 2012 world scare. 

I wonder how they dare,

They look at the Mayan calender of years past,

They say the world may end at last.


Do they not reason

Has it become a thing of this season .

The Mayan's were all killed off,

Is that not reason enough.


For you see the calenders were done in slabs,

Inserted in the form of tabs.

They were done in blocks of time,  

If they survived all would be fine.


Then comes along another scare,

Again how do they dare,

Tell me the sun spots will hit the earth .

Please now I am full of mirth.


Roll of the dice, a trillion to one, 

Please tell me if I am well done.

I sit and shake my head,

Foolish ideas I am going to bed.

Carolyn Devonshire August 13, 2010 at 9:41 AM Phyllis, a friend recently told me that the Mayans would be laughing at us from our interpretations of their calendar. He said it was supposed to just reflect a cycle that begins again. I hope he's right! Indeed, we may be in upheaval and worry over nothing. But it does not dispell my desire to live each day to the fullest -- just in case. Very well written poem for Gareth's contest and I wish you success! Love, Carolyn
