Short Poem On Living

I always try living each day in the moment,
spending scant time on what might lie ahead.
The future is uncertain, and only God knows,
so I review tidbits sleeping in my past instead.

The Grumpy Witch

Had a rather shadowy pitch,
she stirred her bubbling pot,
and caused more trouble than you thought!

No person knows how another person’s hurting,
so before giving advice, let us first peruse.
Not responding in ways which are disconcerting,
Unless we have taken a few steps in their shoes.

I’m only an acquaintance of peaceful sleep,
nocturnal thoughts are awash throughout the night.
Clock time for restfulness I no longer keep,
I’m tossing and turning until morning light.

Miracle Man

From my life’s wondrous vignettes,
many happy memories were born.
But on today’s birthday as I reflect,
eighty-six finds me tired and worn.

The short poem

There was a time when writing poetry 
was important to say something, using a few words
Long poems were frowned upon as a beginning
of a manuscript

He used to be a communist, as his mother was one
Communism, like unbridled capitalism, hates 
free speech, want a restriction on what to express

On Being Average

Those who aren’t content with being,
just as good as others they’re seeing.
Will put forth effort until they drop,
knowing cream always rises to the top.


Being as good as your peers
only makes you average.

Echoes of Time

Whistling sounds of the sorrows,

The wind would pass through the morrows,

No time to stop,

As it continues its path,

 

The path carved beneath,

Laid down just for it,

Rushing tune comes from afar,

It returns,

 

look over its shoulders,

With the mishap left behind,

No longer in its eyes,

Deemed luminary,

 

The idleness erased above,

Picked up just for I,

Runes it stays, futile

Remnants of Indifference

Bits of pieces,

Scattered around,

To pick them up,

is what must be done,

 
Shifted about,

The broom sweeps,

What left underneath,

Is none of my concern,

 
Scoured away,

Evanesced by each beating minute,

Concealed far apart from my sight,

There is nothing to be noticed,

 
Cipher left behind,

Nullity lingers here,

Nothing was here,

Indifference, it never was.

A persons past can never be altered or erased,
But it can be our headmaster as we move ahead.
It can prevent past footprints from being retraced,
providing good decision making for us to embed.

Life

Each life is filled with hits and misses,
and none will escape days viewed as bad.
Those good days passed, all reminisces,
But none will miss what we haven’t had.

I put the letters in a box
and shook them till they fell
awoke to find a crooked poem
written by a mouse that couldn't spell
