Direction

old piece – i’m quite fond of it for various reasons

DIRECTION

She said one day,
that you have to find direction –
in life, in love, in poetry.

Take the first right she said,
and keep going straight till you find your way home –
in life.

Be careful she said,
don’t falter, or pause to see all the amber turn red –
specially when in love.

I knew she was right
so I collected my thoughts, gathered my stuff
and left her – for poetry.

Bugger indeed!

Nice to see that we have some traffic. I love our insecurity ridden threatening stance – well done Kyla. I have decided (since that is what my official post is – ‘deciding rambler’ – that i will post some of my reject stuff to kick start the ’sharing’. Here is something awfully old, fairly mediocre and wholly representative of what i am capable of (took your advice Kyla and pulled this one – one of my rejects – out of the proverbial basked).

“Speak Up”

I preach the secular
sugar cream coffee
butter toast regular

I demand the familiar
polka dotted boxers
and other things sillier

I advocate the ordinary
mind numbing rhetoric
spewed out in a hurry

I pen the prophetic
mediocre poetry
rhyme and verse pathetic
