The Norm

A "note" I've had in a box for awhile

Oh, my friend, you're "getting warm"

To fitting, perfectly, the norm

Soon you'll weather ev'ry storm

By choosing simply to conform

You'll find your safety "in the swarm"

'The Norm'
Desert Knave,
Well hello, This piece was probably more true
than not in its meaning. Coloring outside of our life
box too much can sometimes get us into trouble.
I suppose their is a time for conformity;
"getting warm and fitting perfectly the norm'.
Here's hoping we can all find a time for
adventure as well.
I enjoyed this your first poem here at writers
café and hope to enjoy more.
Blessings to you.
Kathy

Safety in numbers eh Jim? Good write that leaves one much to ponder. Always good to "read" you. ~Sharon

and yet? What fun is that...flying against the hive's intent can be so interesting.
I like this Poem, Jim.
I think it asks us the question? How does each of us want to fly...follower or leader?
