My dog never thinks about it
she doesn't wonder
should I eat that steak?
should I chase that rabbit?
should I bark or howl or whine or whimper?
should I wait at the window with hope?
should I invite that dog to play
with wagging tail and open smile?
I always think about it
worry about it
have second thoughts about it
I wonder
should I eat and drink
should I fast and pray
should I chase my dreams
should I wait with hope
should I invite a stranger
to my adventure
should I speak
should I be silent
I hesitate
and all is lost

Like Barbara, I like this!
This is good stuff Diane, really good.
You are headed somewhere with this poetry of yours, I send you a mix of wishes which goes from keep at it to surrender into it.
Amen. Amen. Amen.
Feeling inspired as of late? I agree with the others, this is very good.
You are so great, and creative, and fun! I want more of this. This is poetry from the living room, from where I live... me and my dog. Who knew you had this in you! What a great Eastertide surprise.
YES YES YES!
What a great poem!
I like this very much, and SO true.
