this is a verse
to modify view–
like grinning
when winning
is harder to do,
like squaring
the shoulders
and powering through
–and laughing,
when sorrow is
beckoning you .
this is a poem
without any style,
a jingle
to mingle
with thoughts for a while,
a protracted mantra
to murmur
when trials,
are testing your mettle
and upending smile.
so mimic
this gimmick
yourself
if you plan–
to keep your chin up
and catch as
catch can,
to redirect
focus and
thus understand,
your mood’s up
to you
gritty
or grand.
