I eat and drink; I sleep and dream
I sit and think; I plot and scheme
I laugh and cry; I live and learn
I trudge and try; I sweat and earn
I love and lust; I fret and fear
I doubt and trust; I smile and sneer
I cope and care; I hurt and hate
I steal and share; I watch and wait
I tease and talk; I give and take
I woo and walk; I feign and fake
I bleed and breathe; I wear and tear
I sulk and seethe; I stop and stare
I cling and crave; I strut and stray
I spend and save; I shop and pay
I weep and whine; I sing and shout
I pray and pine; I bitch and pout
I swear and sin; I mock and moan
I glare and grin; I grieve and groan
I rise and fall; I read and write
I coax and call; I fuss and fight
I tire and age; I crawl and creep
I rant and rage; I pry and peep
I miss and hit; I sob and sigh
I cough and spit; I wilt and die

A very nicely penned poem there Kev
Thanks Sax.
Yeh - I could tick a goodly number of those as being applicable to me in varying degrees, Kevin.
Thank you, DD. Yeah, I wasn't feeling too positive when I composed this. I'm sure there is more to us poets than this!
You have shown you have this often enough Kevin, especially when you wander just a teensy bit from Lorraine (to whose dedication I truly admire), you show me a broad vision, all tied into poetic discipline I can relate to.
So many truths in your words Kevin, but on the last one, not for a long time.
Andy
Thanks Andy. Let's hope so!
that 'I'
of 'We'
in our: commonality...

Thanks LB. A bit of a depressing poem. I'm sure there is more us than this!!!
