Miscellany Times Four

Four very short prose poems on various topics

A Thought 

The expense of life lies never in its expenditure.

Spendthrifts of love never diminish their supply

Yet misers of love soon see their well of love run dry.

 

Region Free

I think that I shall never see 

a world that's truly region free.

Yes, I've read Kilmer

Now let me be.

 

Doggerel

I considered that alternative 

I'm sure she thought it Goth

I never had a chance to live

or dress in styles that pleased us both.

 

Foibles

 

 

Forgive me the foibles of my life 

 

that take me often from your side.

Forgive me working hours spent

that steal the sharing of our lives.

 

Forgive me all the gifts unbought

and all the moments never sought.

Forgive me all the things I do

that fail to speak my love of you.

Forgive me if you can my dear

know that daily I shed a tear.

Forgive me if I failed to say

I love you more and more each day.

Aw, I love them all. They're short, sweet, and simple. I didn't see any grammer/spelling mistakes, and the flow of the poems were great. Very good. :)

Arich miscellany indeed The final one is applicable to most men. I am fortunate that my wife and I both retired and spend mos of our time together.We are both writer she writes novels shorts stories and poetry I concentrate on poetry although i frequently write story poems.
We are both physicall handicapped but like you we overcome them as best we can
My career was cut short when I was tailended by a forty ton truck. But it gave me more leisure time to write ivor aka poeticpiers

Foibles is my favorite. Not because it's the longest (a lot is packaged into the shorter verses), but because of its meter and potential for anything from a prayer to a song. Good writing.
