Doubt

P.H.Rose

                Doubt

Your in my mind at first rising light,
stay until the day turns to night.
Intercede when a topic I know,
interupt conversations full flow.
You made me think I couldn't do rhyme,
Even though I've done it time after time.
For years you've been a parrot on my shoulder,
Bending my ear, but not getting any older.
To long put up fences, and blocked roads,
prevented me from reaching any of my goals.
Now it's time to say goodby, show you to the door,
Slam it hard behind, and see you here no more.
Take off the shackles that you did bring,
Then as a free bird, my own tune I will sing....

      Brilliant PH - also love the reference to the parrot on the shoulder - a useful euphemism I might use.

          Awesome write P.H.R. this one hit home, I too have the parrot perched on my shoulder at times but now I make sure he sits on the right one because i'm half deaf in my right ear...I agree with Kat, a great poem from a great poet!

              Remarkable. I like this a lot. I too have that disquieting thought more often than I like.

                Thank you Augustus,
                As I said its in those
                People you would
                Never think..

                    Great rhyming poem. Such a great topic to talk about because I think a lot of us have that darn parrot on our shoulders as poets. Thank you so much for this brilliant write! I loved it!

                      out with the doubt! look at that sentence....wow i am a poet and i didn't know it! :0) oh your poem made me smile and put me in a great mood. not only do you have great love for your children and grandchildren, your passion for life and art is infectious.....it flows out of your words, through the computer screen and into our souls. thanks for this gem!

                      • P.H.Rose

                        Oh Jane you have just made
                        My year not just my day...
