graft

dusk arising

 

 

i shouldn't knock it really


at least it won't be dreary


got to graft with bills to pay


devils gonna miss my idle hands today

      Good write, I could have idle hands now I am retired but still seem to be extremely busy.

      • dusk arising

        Thank you Goldfinch, stay busy.

          They're not idle hands, they're the tools of an artist ; )

          • dusk arising

            Aha! Thank you indeed.

            I like short poems and this one is so awesome. Devil may never catch me. I'm too busy and when I'm not busy I'm running.

              Malu's too quick for Satan
              She left early, and he's a late-un.
              thank you malubotelho.

                  Short, funny, and very true! A good message for a Monday morning. 🙂 Nice write!

                • Neville

                  Tis a hard life..

                  tho only short.. I bet this took a lotta thought.. certainly enjoyed... Neville

                    i'm a great fan of short and punchy. Regardless of subject, four lines can say so much

                    • Neville

                      certainly can..

                      More often our passion or art has to remain idle, as the necessities of survival rob of our time, and then it's too late

                      Alas, few words to express life's reality
