Tides wax and wan with the moon
Prawns run and craziness will festoon
Life and emotions also rise and fall
mature balance a must to install
Know that good and bad will befall
rushed reaction or calm response our call
Avoid wallowing in the gloom
let love and light truly bloom!
DP: Tide
I like this! I’d rather let love and light bloom than wallow in gloom any day.

Festoon…what a great word!
I read your poem aloud and it made me smile! 🙂
YOU are love and light here on WP, Kate!!! 🙂 Every night I sit down and read WP posts. I always read your posts last…as a treat to myself…like having dessert! 🙂 Then my mind is on positivity before I try to go to sleep. 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂

I read your poem of the tide
My daughter can you sense my pride?
Your sense of timing, sense of tune
Your courage with the word ‘festoon’
I read your poem twice. Aloud.
Your mum and I are oh, so proud.

oh dad you give me so much joy
even tho you had wished for a boy
but mum devised a careful ploy
and I became her new doll-like toy!

It saddens me so much to think
I didn’t want a girl in pink
My first choice? I confess it’s true
Was for a bouncing boy in blue
You should have asked me long ago
And then I would have told you so
I would, of course, have answered calls
If only you had had the balls.

you are the one who left
poor mum was so bereft
ongoing contact cut
no number, you cowardly mutt
now I’ve finally found you
don’t want to hound you …
