Otherwise–it’s Ordinary

every poet

needs a

Moose. . .

a stampeding

Winkle

to Rip

lid

from the

Bull.

 

every writer

needs a

Mouse. . .

–a pen pal

that clicks

just like a regular pen

–off and on–

guaranteeing

electrifying

output.

 

every wordsmith

needs a

Moos. . .

since having cows

is part of

it

–a process

of moon jumps

that define

bovine inspiration.

 

every artiste

needs a Maws. . .

a >^^<

that couldn’t

curse her

–note extraneous

“e”

(for electronic)

ubiquitous

hitchhiker.

Half-Glassed

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed,

If you think so, then it’s true…

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.

 

But what of the trials? The lessons that vex?

That change your world view…

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed.

 

See them as challenge. You’re up for the test.

The outcome’s up to you…

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.

 

But what of the losses? That tighten your chest?

That make you feel so blue…

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed.

 

Savor the moments, know each is blessed

and love be valued, too…

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.

 

Existence is hard, when seen as a mess,

But puzzle you can do…

Living is bane—is hardship, is hexed

Life is a gift—then, now, and next.
