The Show Must Go On...

This weeks prompt from Carry On Tuesday is "The Show Must Go On". Below is my poem using these words in the poem.


The Show Must Go On

It really doesn't matter
whether you want to or not.
It really doesn't matter
how you feel
now...
or later...
for in this life
the show must go on.
Just pick one foot up and move.
Take a step.
Just put one foot in front of the other,
because even though it seems the end
and you feel life has been stripped from you,
the world is still turning.
The lights are still red, amber, green.
And...
The show must go on.

I have been busy lately and I have not been giving myself a hard time if I do not write anything much on my blog. I just write when I get a chance and I have something to say. I read those that I follow though and also flip through random sites that others follow as well. I also have a weakness from craft sites and can get lost for hours looking through the clever things other people make.

There is a new cake recipe in my homemade cooking page. It is recipe using 3 weetbix - no butter or eggs. So easy to make and I have made this and frozen slices ready to toast for a snack or breakfast.

I had my fundraising afternoon on Saturday just gone. The Great Cake bake for Red Cross. I had a lovely afternoon and have raised $135 for Red Cross. My target was $100 so that was a great effort.

Cheers,
Wendy

It was love at first sight.....

Today's post is a poem - written for Carry On Tuesday - the prompt this week was "It Was Love At First Sight".

Love At First Sight.

It was love at first sight,
but I never said or thought it would last.
I know myself better than that.
I know I fall in love so easily
and how easily the next sparkle can move me
in a new direction.
I held you in my gaze,
I imagined touching you,
wearing you,
feeling you.
I had no control.
I stepped through the door,
I took a deep breath
and asked to see you
and it was definately love, love at first sight.
And I tried you on.
I twirled and fluttered,
and opened my purse.
I then went on home
with my new dress.

Well I hope you liked that. I don't think I have ever written a poem about purchasing a dress. I actually do not shop very often. But I don't think there is a person out there that has not fallen madly in love on the spot when they have seen an item that moved them - in this case a dress. I am sure that even if you are careful about your spending you can still remember a time that this happened to you.
