Timing

I’ve heard it said that timing Is the key to one’s success And planning works out better Than most any last-ditch guess. Yet we can’t predict that circumstance Will work out as we’d like For we never know when lightning Or good fortune just might strike. On occasion, though, we get someplace At just the perfect time With results as unexpected As good poetry in rhyme.

They say that timing is everything. It must be true because right now I'm too tired to come up with some clever rhyming. Good night ilene. :) <3

Wise words here, Ilene! Personally I'm a stickler for being or getting on time for appointments, invites to dinner, etc. Not a rhyme freak, I do try to keep the meter going for flow purposes. Thanks for posting your poem. / M
