Unintended
Yesterday I thought
that I could write a poem on anything.
Today I’m not so sure.
Shit happens all the time,
events have consequences
no one can predict.
The unexpected always lies in wait
to trip the best of thoughts
and set the path for unintended outcomes.
Tomorrow I may find myself
along another track,
or climbing back upon the carousel
to take another turn around.

Absolutely love this! This happened to me just today. I got up early to work on the NaPoWriMo prompt and my daughter who lives on another continent called, upset and needed some mom comfort. Two hours later I sit down to write. My husband wakes up and as usual we start the day with greetings. Then I finally get started and he wants to do a computer transfer thing from my computer. It was after noon when I finally got time to write. But as John Lennon once said, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.” I really love the last stanza. Hope you enjoy the ride either way.

I live alone – except for my cat who quite often sits with me when I’m writing and lets me know when she needs something from me! But my daughter and grandkids are coming to visit tomorrow and will be staying over Easter, so I will be sneaking on with my poems when I can!
I love that line from John Lennon!
