Will

What is this I have been standing Here So long in these cement shoes When I merely need to Will The way to move

I think there is a real art to packing so much punch into so few words. Did you get those feet to move? Goodnight Mo...I have trouble moving my feet sometimes.XO

this is an excellent poem, maureen. it's succinct and to the point; and it has a great message.

I love the first line, "what is this." I hope it was meant to be funny because it made me laugh out loud. Great poem, too!

Awesome you made me laugh out loud! I never get very far from my own sense of humour; there was a however twisted and possibly probably self depricating laughing at myself moment when and for which that was penned.
