L Milton Hankins Poet Triolet

Upbeat Stuff

I prefer to be positive, write upbeat stuff,
But sometimes life seems doom and gloom
You should tell me when you’ve had enough
I prefer to be positive, write upbeat stuff.
After all, as an old bird, I can be mighty tough
Even when the road gets rocky and rough,
I prefer to be positive, write upbeat stuff
But, sometimes life seems doom and gloom.

Caren Krutsinger April 22, 2022 at 2:15 AM Gloom and doom makes a great poem too though. L Milton Hankins April 22, 2022 at 7:08 AM I suppose so, but I've never been one to wallow in it. I have my days, to be sure.

Anselmo Boles April 21, 2022 at 2:50 PM Milt, just think of those days when even short-lived moments seemed glorious, that should give you a bit of a lift. Float away!!...ab L Milton Hankins April 21, 2022 at 5:05 PM You're right, Anselmo. That was a long, long time ago, but I still remember. Thanks!

Tom Cunningham April 21, 2022 at 10:58 AM Bad news does bring you down sometimes, watching the news lately is so depressing. Dispite that it's still a wonderful world and we just have to accept that we cannot change things. Tom L Milton Hankins April 21, 2022 at 11:23 AM Absolutely, Tom, and I find that a very positive approach. I've pretty much given up watching the news because I can't change anything and I'm not going to get down in the dirt with people I don't care to deal with.
