Quitter
Every day I try something new And hope my plans don't go askew; Because of this horrible quitting through and through Thought I'd start knitting But never thought of committing; The name 'quitter' seems fitting. I'll play Badminton for a day But when it gets hard I'd rather not stay; In this arena of players who paved their way. They weren't like me, Who has...

Premium Member No Quitting In the Dark
We pass the fire sticks near the police cars, lit. Bright round moon shine, that’s it. The fit, from the tall and small, still they’d rather walk then sit with grandpa in the car. We are so close to home. Each keeps their wit and acumen, as we trudge through the dark - feels dangerous, but we don’t quit, even when grandpa gives a second...

Premium Member Quitting Getting On My Own Nerves
Snacking on seaweed and banana today To see if it improves my mood Hopefully my vitamin investment will pay And my perspective will become unskewed My busy brain has ceased to be I'm currently numb instead I'd love to imagine it's because I'm free But believe it's another trick of the head I've set myself a couple of tasks The library and a hair...

Smoke Free - Part Iv
I'm happy to say that I quit smoking half a year ago. It's been six months today since I last smoked tobacco. When I was presented with the opportunity to quit, I decided to reach out and grab it. All that I needed was some nicotine patches and faith in God to be able to kick the habit. I...

Quitting Time
Years ago I worked in Houston; In a Super-Store. I often worked the night-shift; I worked out on the floor. It was honest money; But sometimes the work was hard. I was glad at quitting time, When it was time to punch my card. It was dark when work was finished; I walked to my car alone. But it made me little difference; Cause it was...

When Love Gives Up
Baby steps, followed by a child's stumbling, teenage sprained ankles, broken bones and bodies covered with bruises, adults take two steps forward followed by one step back. What of the person with no feet? Hasn't he a reason to succeed. His will shaped by submission to a higher power than his own encouraged by right mentors. Elderly invalids often leap into service through a ministry from their...

Admitting Than Quitting
Admitting Than Quitting Was truly my style to start sitting, While all my bad habits admitting; Started to count them one by one; Then when I was finished and done Them concurrently started quitting. What else is there left I should say Should make mine Poem of the Day And if the day has become bleak Can also make it Poem of the Week Have...

On Quitting Poetrysoup As Soon As I Join
On quitting PoetrySoup as soon as I join This morning I had two comments on two poems I posted yesterday. They were both from the same person and very nice comments they were, indeed. And yet, my first reaction was not, as you might expect, one of joy and happiness: “Oooh! Someone liked my poems!” It was, instead, “Oh no - I’ve got to quit Poetry Soup! Strangers are reading my...
