Blame not the gale, or the inhospitable sea-gulf, or friends’ tardiness,
mariner! Just man’s foolhardiness.

Memories of days splashed with rue, 

Misgivings accumulate 

Penalties accrue

For when thine judgements of foolhardiness come due

Tis then that you realize that your days here are but few

After touching the bottom rock with the sole of your shoe 

Only then

Can you ascend 

And set your compass 

To true

Deja Vu


    Alas, we compose poetry to impress others with our brilliant
    brains, hapless wit, sexy bodies, or holy sanctimony.

    All foolhardiness if you think of it, and an exercise in utter, grandiose    
    egotistical folly!         

    Just be you, never hurt another poet here.
    Because when you do, Deja Vu is coming for you next, my dear!
