Hello World! The new fly says, to buzz in the window and curtsy across the ceiling. Landing on the counter, smacked and squished to bits. Hello World! The new dandelion says, to toss in the summer breeze. Face upturned to be kissed by the sun. Growing taller amongst the grass, to be whacked down to nothingness. Hello World! The new mouse says, to raid the cupboards. Leaving little brownies in the drawers. Discovering interesting green pellets. To be extinguished in a calamitous manner. Hello World! The new dust ball says, to float under the bed. To coast across the linoleum. Searching for other bunnies to join in its dance. Its end comes, sucked up in a whirlwind. Is it not apparent that life can sometimes hand over such wretched grief? Wait! New flies still emerge to annoy. Even though the swatter eventually comes. New dandelions still pop up. Causing havoc on the nice green. Even though they eventually come tumbling down. New mice still scamper to live out a thieving existence. Even though they eventually meet a poisonous end. New dust balls still cause sneezing headaches. Even though they eventually will be sputtered in a whirling engine. If life sometimes tosses you on your face. Remember these examples. Be persistent and win the day. |

Hello, arbpoet! You see worlds that most do not see! Powers of observation can serve a poet well!  "If life sometimes tosses you on your face. Remember these examples. Be persistent and win the day." ~ Love your up-lifting closing stanza! Carpe diem! (Latin: Seize the day!) Loving Light, EA |
