What Will It Take?

 

Marathons


microphones


porcupines


diamond rings


and such things


not so much today


Sports cars


a trip to mars


clowns dressed


in night gowns


walrus whiskers


whisk brooms


brides and grooms


loony tunes


do not apply


Geography


and philanthropy


come to mind


and I wonder why?


Slipshod


and ramrod thinking


I suppose


heaven knows


A thoughtful


and encouraging word


to say


A mediocre or profound


thought to convey


What will it take


to make myself


relevant today


as I stand on my own


two feet


and as I live


and breathe?


Will I find the words


to give voice to


my thoughts today?


Sometimes it’s easy


as pie or more


challenging than


it seems putting an


idea into play


I repeat


What will it take


to make myself


relevant today?


At times it’s not


up to me alone to say


Is my topic related


or germane?


With what, you ask?


That’s for me


to ponder and explain


I’ll let you know


when relativity


and clarity


of word come to me


Until it does


I remain


yours truly


posthumously


speaking figuratively


without periods


in between


to stop me


(Ironic or moronic


that’s up to you


to say)
