sharing a gift of the Muse from vibr8's archive

Ever since I can remember, I've written poetry. Every now and then a poem of my creation has been published, or recognized by someone I respect as being good. That's great, but mostly I write them for me. It's part of the process I use for getting through difficult times. I would love to hear about other peoples' tools for getting through difficult times. I really would!

Here is the poem I have chosen to share, from my archives:

........beginning of poem...................

In This World

I've had enough good morning poems to
Last a lifetime

Threw my baggage overboard

Let's jump and see if we float

It's a dark amusement park out there
And they closed down the funhouse years ago

You gotta get tough to make it in this world
Tough or rich

Or spiritual

Yeah

That's right I said spiritual, honey

You've gotta have what you want first
Before you can have what anybody else wants

Do we hear each other?

Meet me where I am;
We'll go from there.

.............end of poem...................
