[feeling uninspired, have to resort to an ABC poem]


A nticipation ruins the fun of surprises
B etter to wait for destiny to run its course
C ast your eyes on the platter of life's flavors before you
D ecide to taste and savor first, not feast ravenously.

E xhilaration comes when you spread your wings
F ly free like an eagle, soar into the blue yonder
G rab a fistful of clouds into your dreams
H appy thoughts too, to replace drab moments.

I n a  world where mixed emotions can tint the rainbow's colors
J oys become diluted by unfulfilled promises
K illing you softly, relentless and intimidating
L ight and shadow a fantasy play under a grey sky.

Oh yes, the ABC poem is a good way to work your way of of the uninspired feelings that come to us every so often. This one is a good one, and I especially liked that you ended it in a dark sort of way, because life is never always beautiful and filled with light.
