Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Worry

I have a grandson 
that likes to climb cliffs -- 
I worry.
Have a wife that frequents
Facebook --
I worry.
Have a dentist that enjoys watching
horror films -- 
Need I say it!?

True though, worry never solved anything -- 
I worry about that….
-----------------------------------------------------

Hi friends! 
High, friends?
I have had both,
those in high places
and those simply flying….

Falling is another thing to worry about,
whether from thrones or self perpetuated peaks -- 

All the same to death my guess…?

Valsa George September 30, 2026 at 8:09 PM It is man's nature to worry even over trivial things. "Falling is another thing to worry about, whether from thrones or self perpetuated peaks " This poem written in a humorous vein has brought a smile into my lips. Let me ask, why should you worry about your wife being on Facebook?! Joseph P. DiMino October 1, 2026 at 1:36 AM Only kidding...she doesn't ever even go online. Knows nothing about computers, totally into painting, music, and crafts. Painting and music when she was teaching and crafts after she retired and became an activities director at a Senior Center. Taught Seniors how to make Teddy Bears, which they would sell to raise funds for outings. Her senior groups was a featured news' story on television once. Interesting life to say the least. Thank you, Valsa.
