Jack Ellison Poet Free verse

The Ills of Us Humans

The future will forever be unknown
Predicting what lies just around the bend
There are so many variables
Can ever be a stretch of the imagination
To be imagined or be foreseen
It's just not part of the human condition
Oh well some things in life
Are just not meant to be
The colour of grass the leaves on the trees
Varying shades of green
The sky being a cerulean blue
It makes the world such a beautiful place

Laura Breidenthal December 20, 2022 at 5:27 PM This is such a beautiful piece. It may first appear simple, but what you are speaking about is complex. “ There are so many variables” —so true! Loving your wise words. Always, Laura Jack Ellison December 21, 2022 at 4:09 AM Your words make me smile dear Laura! We humans are such a small part of a wonderful experience that get to around only once... what a pity!!! Love Happy Jack XOX

Speaks Volumes December 20, 2022 at 7:05 AM lt is a beautiful place isn't it Jack? Your poem is a breath of fresh air. Written just right. lf only folk would take time to look around at the beauty that surrounds us instead of grumbling about trivial things.

Stay with me my love and I will try to last a bunch of years longer than you! Wish me luck! LOL xox
