Sometimes
I wish I was
A mayfly…
To live a lifetime
In just
One
Day.
Be born
Live
Love
And die.
A mayfly needs
No school
No work
No stuff
It merely
Sees
Breathes
Flies
Eats
Loves
Lives
And dies.
Surely
That is
Enough?
I recently read an article by Mary Jaksch at writetodone.com suggesting writing poetry (read more to find out why). This poem is my first attempt!

About verawrites
Progress not perfection - that's my goal. Live and learn - that's my motto. I like to share bits of wisdom and glimmers of insight gleaned on my life journey of 50+ years.
My hope is to encourage, perhaps inspire, fellow journeyers. Each of us has something to share. Let's be generous, gracious and compassionate with one another. I am blessed to be a blessing... so are you!
