Poem 1,000 – Poem 1,000

Unless I have miscounted,
(As I have before),
Today I reach one thousand
Poems, no less no more.
Occasionally profound,
And sometimes simply silly,
Some good whilst others flounder,
Some rhyme whilst others refuse to.

I really ought to write one of the profound or thoughtful ones tonight, but this is what came out tonight instead…

Poem 332 – Dynamo Hands

Today I’ve been
trying to power
through my work,
typing for hours.

The outcome? Just under
2,000 strides, and
two square eyes,
and too many slides.

No power walk
but I wonder if
I could plug my fingers
into the grid!

It’s a big week workwise for me next week, as I’m giving a talk at our church movement’s conference, as well as other content. This means it’s heads down right now to get everything done.
