Janice Canerdy Poet Questionku

Situations That Beg For Better Outcomes

wed for decades
retired, children grown
What have we in common?

ten committees
numerous meetings
What has been accomplished?

reunion time
hundreds will attend
Do you want to be there?

many in need
so much we could give
What are we waiting for?

princess kissed frog
then became--Ribbit!
Why do magic spells fail?

I did you wrong,
but you've forgiven--
Hon, is this wine ruined?

wiseacre kid
answers mall Santa:
"Good according to whom?"

distraught woman
on phone with pastor:
"I feel--are you still there?"

Edlynn Nau October 20, 2015 at 1:03 PM The loneliness to this older experienced one is conveyed and also the sorrow for wrongs done. Unfulfillment is there and we all can relate to every emotion and question here...especially as we grow older. We are left with that thought what's it all been for and do I really still have you? Good one! Janice Canerdy October 20, 2015 at 2:00 PM Edlynn, these comments have been very well-received! Thank you for taking the time to answer from the heart. I too have some age on me and can relate to some of these points. Janice
