Here’s my response to Brian Vos’s Weekly Poetry Prompt on http://www.brianvos.com.
This week’s prompt: ‘The good life’. You can find the original blog post here: https://brianvos.com/2022/04/29/the-good-life-your-weekly-poetry-prompt/
The good life
Enough, fits in any odd space,
squint walls, darned socks, no probs.
You, me, an open sky, blue or whatever,
the Earth, failing this, my garden,
daisies and dandelions,
no hothoused beauties here,
just resilient souls,
singing their song.
Perfect, on the other hand,
belongs on flat, glossy pages,
straightened by a guillotine,
and doesn’t live here any more.
Welcome to the good life.
Imperfection, resilience – the good life. I love it.
