Long Seize the day Poems

so please knock me unconscious
just to be in the...

as if this day were your last.

What do you mean, dear?
Each day is your last day.

Upmteenth (re:) inspection revisited...

I experience dread-nought
until April 19th, 2022 becomes yesterday

here at Highland Manor
hoop fully temporarily alleviated.

Yours truly and the missus

otherwise known as Unit B44
encroached, obtruded, and violated
predicated upon fruit...

Seems my handwriting will never improve,
Yearlong efforts, letters still oblong.
Not quite right, but we pretend it’s not all bad,
I fixate on each line, a prerequisite approach.

It was a Thursday afternoon, 
and Katie was in school.
The teacher droned and droned and droned

A wall of shame showing past regrets you cover and hide
A waterfall of sadness and sorrow...

,my next step and it would be 
ok....

CHALLENGES

By Edmund Siejka

He faced a challenge 
That forced him to use all his abilities
But doubt clouded his judgement
Caution gave way to uncertainty.
