By Times…
By times I have given up things,
Drink, sugar, meat and cigarettes.
Going out and guitar strings,
Cake and Cuisine de France baguettes.
By times I have thought I have done well,
Healthier both body and pocket will get.
But really it’s just been a wishful spell,
Foregoing is no substitute for goals set.
By times I let myself too easily drift,
Wondering about doing all that I can.
Fuzzy thinking never gave a life a lift,
Nothing lasting is done without a plan.
Yet now it seems I am back to square one,
Among all those who have to scrimp and save.
But this time I am determined to have fun,
To banks and governments I will be no slave.

Whenever possible I buy blank greeting cards and write my own messages. It always feels good to create from my heart. I believe poetry is all around, in every thing and action and spontaneous speech. Renewed by the human spirit's appreciation of beauty and goodness. There is no unchanging standard that can reside in perfection in books rarely read.
I am a husband and father of 2. Starting to write down before forgetting.
Know what I like when I've read it, trying to get to grips with photography.
Gentleman of leisure, not uneducated, all spelling and grammar errors I lay upon my eyesight.
it was a “wow” read….loved it.
