hee hee ha ha…ya gotta be kidding me?
If ever I’ve wondered if God had a sense of humor, this was answered today. I honestly howled with laughter when I read today’s fortune. And I swear by all that is holy, that is today’s fortune. I’d just been thinking thank goodness this is the last one when I pulled that fortune out of the cookie. I wish there’d been a camera on me because I honestly felt like somebody was pranking me.
Maybe somebody is. Maybe it’s my balloon-man telling me there’s more to come out of fortune cookies than I know. Maybe even a book?
Whatever. This has been a wonderful month creatively. I’ve written some of my best poetry, and I don’t think I’ve written some of my worst this month, so there’s some creative growth that has occurred. So good. I wrote when I was sick, when I was traveling, when work was busy, when I was finishing up an editing project…I never missed a day during all that.
I do thank you for reading it all. I’ll keep you posted if the fortune cookies decide it’s a good idea to fill up a book. 🙂
It’s not the end yet. Let’s stay with it.
What a Month
By Michelle Garren-Flye
I’m tired and distracted and ready to go.
I’ve other things to do that take up my time!
Don’t overstay, you’re breaking the flow.
Life goes on may be a tale of woe,
and that’s easy to say when it’s not your dime.
I’m tired and distracted and ready to go
We’ve had a great run, but this I know:
drawing out a good thing would be a crime.
Don’t overstay, you’re breaking the flow.
If needs were less or the pace would slow,
if only I could be forever in my prime!
But I’m tired, distracted, and ready to go.
This month has left us much to show.
It hasn’t been easy, but we made the climb!
Don’t overstay now, you’ll break the flow.
I’m guessing you’d like a little quid pro quo,
and I thank you for reading all my rhythm and rhyme.
Now I’m tired and distracted and ready to go.
Don’t overstay. You’re breaking the flow.
