Sunday Whirl
With words:
axe clumsy dreams glass land listen
name rub settle shattering sky vanish
an axe to grind
but clumsy in his dealings
had hoped to find
objects of his dreams
with glasses in his hands
and an uncanny talent
a job he could land
if they could just listen
he could name names
with whom he rubbed shoulders
to settle in and rise to fame
to the consternation of others
Worked with shattering speed
To gain a foothold
The sky is the limit
To garner aspirations for his soul
Had worked with such relish
Lest all should unwittingly vanish
For Brenda's Sunday Whirl
working hard can be the only way to find and achieve those dreams..if they are real..and 'you' are too! (I like your reward poster ;)
ReplyDeleteah it's sad if someone works so hard for something and the dreams still not come through... it's never too late for a new dream though...
ReplyDeleteWorking hard is OK but it is your attitude as well. So don't hog the limelight, e.g Let someone else have their picture taken under the Eiffel Tower!
ReplyDeleteHard work goes a long way, but have to stop and smell the roses too
ReplyDeleteLove the rhythm of this. And the sentiment! Simply love the whole thing! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour wording and the rhythm forces a fast-paced read, Hank. Strong work.
ReplyDeleteHank,, this worked excellently for me.. a shattering speed in work can sometimes just vanish.. I know this too well
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your take on it!
ReplyDeleteWe have to work for what we want
ReplyDeletewhat good are all the names you rub shoulders with if in the end you fall short of your dreams....
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately someone always has an axe to grind, Hank. Strong write.
