Practice makes a difference.

But the important thing is to have a message. Among other things, I like books.

For me, poetry is about capturing and expressing an emotion, and often, giving someone a view they may not have considered.

It also gives me a chance to recycle old jokes.

You never know. I try to keep it fresh.

Tune In Tomorrow

When you go into a theater,
To stumble to your seat,
You hear the music starting,
And know you’ll have a treat.

That is just exactly,
The way I feel each day,
When morning has arisen,
And birdsong starts to play.

The shuttered light is showing,
The screen attracts my eye,
The scrolling credits roll across,
A brightly colored sky.

As every day the show begins,
I sit back and enjoy,
The special scenes and music;
The methods they employ.

Who would have thought a cricket,
Would be a music source?
Yet when the light goes down again,
The stars are shown, of course.

They wryly wink, and stately stroll,
Across the up-built stage,
Where generations of my folk,
Have watched throughout the age.

Somewhere there is a Writer,
Producer and much more,
I’m tuning in Tomorrow.
Who knows what lies in store?

Thanks Bob. Just noticed on main board Dallas, Texas has had an earthquake. Report just came in. Will be back later to view. Am betting the poem is another good one. Thanks Bob.
