Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Some Folks

Some people travel;
Some people don’t.
Many take risks;
Many others just won’t.

Some rise at dawn,
Many others at noon.
Some put things off;
Others do things too soon.

Some folks are slobs,
Many others are neat.
Some like things salty;
Others like sweet.

Some prefer coffee
While others drink tea.
No one’s exactly
Like you or like me.

Some folks will read this;
Most never will.
Each of us has
Our own bucket to fill.

Laura Leiser May 22, 2022 at 1:25 PM I love the natural rhymes in all of your poetry, Ilene. I’ve always admired the effortless way you write such wonderful and relatable poems! :)

Gershon Wolf May 20, 2022 at 1:32 PM I choose to fill my own bucket with plenty of Ilene Bauer poems. And that's a GREAT choice!! Cheers, Gershon

Jan Allison May 20, 2022 at 12:00 AM I'm a tea drinker but would meet you for a coffee any day, thank goodness we are all different though - imagine if we were all mirror images of vlad !:-) hugs Jan xx

John Watt May 19, 2022 at 11:36 PM you have written of a universal truth in a down-to-earth way that, like so many of your poems, is immensely relatable. many of these lines describe me (but I'm not saying which...) i loved it!

Andrea Dietrich May 19, 2022 at 3:44 PM Cool little poem. You really have to do a book of all your great poetry. Jan Allison May 20, 2022 at 12:00 AM I've been saying it for years Andrea xx John Watt May 19, 2022 at 11:31 PM I second that emotion!

Rico Leffanta May 19, 2022 at 10:48 AM and we eventually become too rusty for words! Enjoyed! Aloha!

L Milton Hankins May 19, 2022 at 10:27 AM You have acknowledged so many truths here, Ilene. We are all different, yet all worthy. In each verse, I found some of myself, and so, I thank you. Yes, I do believe we each of have own bucket to fill. Fine writing, my friend.

Jenna Logan May 19, 2022 at 10:10 AM I read this and liked it. You have such a genuine, straight forward approach to poetry. It's refreshing, Ilene.

Tom Cunningham May 19, 2022 at 10:05 AM I suppose folks being different is a good thing because if we were all the same we'd be boring. Tom
