Not Me

How difficult can one challenge be
Something that has not been rehearsed
A dare never tried before
How difficult for me?
But easy isn’t
My cup of tea
Not for me
Not for
me

Hello Karilea

This was so very well done, as only you can.
I hope all is well with you.

Take care......Sue

Well, this just happens to be a form I've
never tried before, so I mightjust have
to play with it and see what spills
out of the pen.

Thanks for the challenge, Karilea..

Sometimes the seemingly easy way out is deceptive. That doesn't mean that the hard path is the right path. Cowardice is hard to accept in yourself. There is no easy way out--and the shortest way through a difficulty is through it. Choosing the right path is always a big question. Knowing you, Karilea, you have always made the right choices.
Interesting form that I have never seen before. Form and content meld well in this poem. Maybe this form could be referred to the workshop. Big question for the rest of us--a theme for this format.
Excellent write!
