Hello everyone;

I did say "haphazardly" participating in the April PAD Challenge. This is why day one is being posted after day two.
Day 1  prompt of "write an optimistic poem"

Not Dead Yet, Me


Is it really such a tragedy

that my sentences are raggedy

words tread together by similarity?

The conversation is still defiantly

expressions of me.


Is it really such a travesty 

that I wander aimlessly?

When I can travel through time so easily

…our life history

…a life lived outrageously.


Is it really such a disparity

that I have forgotten the melody

of your name? Still there’s some clarity….

I know the feelings of family

and passions intensity. 


Is it really such an indignity

that something once familiar is now a novelty.

Or that simple tasks escape me.

I still dance to life’s jamboree

and sing majestically.

Is it really such a finality

even as I become more absentee?

There is plenty of life in my legacy.

Don’t bother writing my eulogy,

when there’s still time to create a memory.

It is National Anti-bullying Month too? October seems to be a month were we concentrate on things we don’t want. Cancer, Bullies, even Zombies. I guess when we take a moment and think about our lives we discover there are a lot of monsters hiding under our beds.

I will be sharing my own “anti-bullying” poem soon. It might look differently than what one might expect from a poem about bullying. But if we are going to rid ourselves of the bully monster that lies under our beds then we need to rethink the disguises that monster wears.

Meanwhile, I want to share Shane Koyczan’s poem To This Day

Let’s be nice to each other.
Peace be with you,
Delaina
