Ours

Practice makes perfect

That's good to know

Nobody's perfect

What does that go to show

Never say never

What's that you say?

I did didn't I?

No worries

Everything is A okay

If I've told you once I've told you twice

Third time is a charm

Learn to live, live and learn

Don't make me twist your arm

One day at a time

Everything will be okay

Don't worry be happy

Life is short, live for today

Blah Blah Blah

In one ear and out the other

Here today, gone tommorow

If it's not one thing it's another

All is fair in love and war

What goes around comes around

We get what we give

Oh look what I just found

A penny for your thoughts

No, just save it for a rainy day

A penny saved is a penny...

well you know what they say

It could be worse

Its not half bad at all

The grass is always greener

I have heard it all

Im not complaining

In fact I count my lucky stars

You know what I'm saying...

These words aren't mine, they're ours

Keely....

Time and again I have been saying that you play with words & play so well.
All the phrases, sentences we might have heard & said many times but you have placed them in right order in telling what you wanted to.

The closure is utterly beautiful "You know what I'm saying...
These words aren't mine, they're ours".

[Rita L. Sev]

We have a collection of these comments and platitudes so that we will always have something to say, even if we don't know why we're saying it...

Well constructed, Keely!

[B-poet]

You've definitely out done yourself here. Taking all the most familiar catch phrases and turning them into one cleverly crafted write. Great work KeelyJane. A entertaining & enjoyable read. :)

[Ravyne Hawke]

So many cliches and you bring them all together in a wonderful flowing poem. Very clever!

Nice collection of loss for words phrases and happy gestures...if you know what I mean? The grass may be greener, but it still needs to be mowed...Cool write Keely Jane.

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the old wisdom in the poem. A lot of them are true. I had a Grandfather who loved the catch phrases. Thank you for the reminder. A excellent poem.

Yes, we share all these idioms...I hate them mostly. People usually speak them when they don't know what else to say, empty words that mean mostly nothing to the ear, they're old and tired. You weren't barking up the wrong tree with this one. Good read!

Nice flow of words, and yes words that are meant to soothe sometimes agitates.
