Poetic Ticket

Poetic license?

Can just anyone get one

or only poets?

~

Poetic license

is free to every writer,

yet all freedom has a price.

License to Bloom?

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Should we consider

the thoughts of blooming lilies

as base poetic license?

~

Perhaps not the thoughts

of lilies but the thoughts of

 my  blooming fellow poet…

Blooming Lilies 

Posted by 2garrabrants

When you consider

the lilies of the field, what

might you ask? What might you learn?

~

Why do you bloom here,

this inhospitable place?

Why, in sorrow, beauty blooms.

Real Magic

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

When things look darkest,

what high magic do you cast

to illuminate your path?

~

The magic of friends’

listening ears and caring

hearts brightens the darkest path.

Legislating Nature

When even Einstein

says knowledge must be paired with

thoughtful care, who can argue?

~

Wise fools and con men

leap immediately forth,

along with politicians.

Tender Testaments

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

And what are these aches?

Pains to plague remaining days?

Trophies of bygone triumphs?

~

Tender testaments,

these aches and pains – trophies that

 only the living can hold.

Sequential Thresholds

Now that you’ve passed through

fifty’s door what have

you found on the other side?

~

Mostly, more of the

same that greeted forty’s door,

except with more aches and pains.

Eyes Of The Beholder

Posted by 2garrabrants

When our children stand

to toddle away, do we

chase after or watch them go?

~

Where we see toddlers

they see young adults who wish

we’d see their maturity.

Seeking Structure

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

Should we abandon

these questions about questions

and go looking for some rhymes?

~

Like rhymes, our reasons

for asking all these questions;

to chime the passing seasons.

Eternal Hubris

Posted by 2garrabrants

0

And not only that,

why do we provide answers

for unasked questions?

~

That answer is easy.

Our vanity compels us

to scatter our thoughts widely.
