Three
Oh dear,
goals and me are not good friends.
Through life
they’ve said, set goals.
That’s the
way to get things done.
Yet goals
are such firm targets.
They can
become quite bothersome.
If their
standards are not met.
With a sergeants
majors voice,
FAILURE they’ll
shout.
Loud enough
for all to hear (and make you cry).
If you do
not meet their standards high.
Aims on the
other hand are far friendlier.
They take on
the role of mentor in the planning world.
Taking you
by the hand as if to say,
“Come on
now, let’s give this a try”
Calm and
relax they never scold
They realise
life sometimes loves to throw obstacles in you path.
Aims set a
destination, but don’t make the journey hell.
Encouragement
is their forte, supporting all the way.
We got the
direction and set the time.
“Just do
your best, that’ll be grand.”
So with aims
in mind, I’ll set my course.
First to
find some crafting space,
A glimpse of
table would be great.
A space
where dreams may take shape.
Second to
sift and sort and reorganise.
All those
crafty things I hide.
Bring them
back into light of day and play.
Finally I
wish to feed my dinosaur obsession,
With art
work of some kind, I know not what.
An obsessions
that growls is best fed regular.
Map
obtained, my journey starts.

I Will Do It In Thirteen Weeks
Your poem should list three achievable goals, which you would like to accomplish within the next thirteen weeks.
Love the color and texture of your goals, which you've painted in my mind (can't wait to see them).
ReplyDeleteI try to make my goals achievable and flexible... and to the latter, I always add that if something is not done exactly in time or perfectly, the world is not going to end. So there. ♥
Ha, you make me laugh Magaly.
DeleteNew Mexico and AZ are rather obsessed with "life sized" dinosaurs. Perhaps a road trip is imminent.
ReplyDeleteThere's actually some sort of big dinosaur exhibit in Philly now. Good luck getting your crafting space squared away!
ReplyDeleteI love the use of a table as a place for shaping dreams. Evocative and clear writing. Very nice
