Welcome to My Poetry Site
Easy, Hard; Hard, Easy
Why is it easy to put on the pounds
But so darn hard to lose?
It's always a breeze to pass on the peas;
But ice cream is hard to refuse.
Often we catch ourselves driving too fast;
Are we ever driving too slow?
Our brains are less like a Rafael
And more like a Vincent van Gogh.
Time plods along when we're waiting in line
But races when we're having fun.
As hard as we try to stick to a budget,
There's usually cost overrun!
Medical costs are so Brobdingnagian;
Why can't they be Lilliputian?
It's easy to make but tough to keep
A New Year's resolution.
Doesn't it also seem easy to sink
Yet hard to stay afloat?
Finding the exact words is a challenge;
It's a cinch to misquote.
Love--it seems--should be so simple.
Why is there so much hate?
Being early is usually good,
But sometimes you want to be late.
Life's little inconsistencies:
Always a daily test…
All we can do is go with the flow
And try to do our best.
