Surprises

There are times that I miss

The pressing of lips in a kiss.

The holding of a lady tight

As we say our last good night.

 

The morrow will bring sorrow,

When I learn of her death.

Who could have ever thought

She would be dead, just as we meet.

 

Life has its surprises in store,

When we go to open our door.

Good that we not know in advance,

What life has for us in store.

Some would charge through that door and meet it head on, but many would huddle in the corner and wait for it to come to them. Sometimes I wonder which is best.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
