Square Peg Round Hole

I'm a Lemon-Drop Vodka Martini You are refreshing healthy Green Tea You are cautious, resistant, frisky I am feisty, playful, risky I am rough country, loud voices You are smooth jazz, soft noises You are a sitting, talking sweet lyric I am a standing, dancing free spirit I blossom in excessive stimulation You desire quiet contemplation I crave social places where I can be free You crave something more low-key We don’t get each others personality We merely accept the others reality Defensive, marching to our own tunes We release the past, mending wounds Where I am happy, you get dizzy Where you are happy I get uneasy Let go the idea we were meant to be Accepting fate, ending fantasy You were the key, I was the lock It did not fit, you had to knock Square peg, round hole Even writing took its toll Lesson learned in less than a season Knowing we met for a good reason Hearts were healed, growth was gained Glad our friendship still remained

What more could I ask for today? It is a beautiful day the sun shining and birds singing. I am reading your poetry in which you share a little of yourself maybe without even realizing it you have written from your soul. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry with us Lori. Love, Carol
