Sudden

How can a day change so swiftly?

An avalanche bereft of snow.

Fist to gut that spurs to shift me.

The call to arms without a foe.


How many times can things go wrong

Before it strains credulity?

A cosmic joke or half daft song….

…One I don’t get presumably.


Visor down, shut up, be ready!

Brace for impact, now hold the line!

Keep the centre. Remain steady.

And show them everything is fine.

*Smiles* Aww, thank you. I have had somewhat of a creative drought as of late. Besides, with so many excellent poets here already, I do not think my contributions add that much. But I thank you sincerely for your words of encouragement, it makes me very happy.
