Aarrrggghhh! Typing up some poetry while listening to country music! I got up way too early this morning, and I'm trying to get some stuff done before I crash again. I have been carrying a notebook to jot down some lines when they hit me, or that's the idea. Part of it is that if I have the notebook I feel somewhat obligated to write in it. Some of the stuff is okay and some of it is just silly. This one is pretty silly.
Hope for Half
Chasing words across a page
finding the ones that fit
The perfect ones that suit the stage
words of wisdom or words of wit?

This is a bit of a take-off on Mark Twain. He commented once that, "The man who thinks himself a wit is usually half-right." Great line, IMHO. I did another one that hits me as silly. I have decided not to try to judge them, so you're going to get the bad with the good. You can sort that one out for yourselves.
Fourteen
The number came up just now
it doesn't mean anything
One more than the one below
one less than the one above
It has to stand for something
numbers always do
they mean something real
they're not like the rest of us
Except this one
out of the blue
It presented itself
it just is
