Not Metered Much

It is so hard to stay positive
when "uncontrollable" exists in how we live.
Each step "never known for sure"
hard to contemplate, to know when/what to give.

What you want is not always available,
hides behind the emptiness of a "someday" word.
But difficulties come through loud and clear
always, they seep penetrating, to be heard.

Life and death, and uncertainties
deceptions to taint the scene.
Judgements over-rated just because
you've faked that self-esteem.

There's unevenness in my rhyming for
the world appears the same.
Doesn't really matter since
"nakdthoughts" is just a name.

For those who've lost and those who've gained
despite the odds, it's done.
And no one feels it more than I,
absorbing all, this one.

M
((hugs for you))

heartfelt poem

here's something to give you a smile


Have you ever wondered why A, B, C, D, DD, E and F are the letters used to define bra sizes? If you have wondered why, but couldn't figure out what the letters stood for, it's about time you became informed!

{A} - Almost Boobs...
{B} - Barely there.
{C} - Can't Complain!
{D} - Damn!
{DD} - Double damn!
{E} - Enormous!
{F} - Fake.

Lee, you gave me a smile

and Linda, another poet friend has just lost his Mother unexpectedly...I just have had and shared so much sorrow and negativity  this past year..that it seems no matter how much I try to move forward in feelings and thoughts and deeds... the sad overwhelms the happy that is trying its best to have some staying power...if you know what I mean.

Oh M, I especially like the last stanza of this one.  It says it all, really.
