"My Aim" - A Pantoum Poem of Hope
I have written and published many poems all my life, including a self-published poetry book.
"My Aim"
My bed hummed my name;
I passed up quality rest.
My eye is on my aim.
My mind is on my quest.
I passed up quality rest,
To dance around town all day.
My mind is on my quest,
As I pushed slumber away.
To dance around town all day,
I'm dedicated to my to-do list of needs.
As I pushed slumber away,
I pulled out life's weeds.
I'm dedicated to my to-do list of needs,
As I lined up my goals.
I pulled out life's weeds,
And placed tree seeds in the holes.
I will watch my trees grow;
My eye is on my aim.
In steps, conquer a sleepless show;
My bed hummed my name.

A white flower working on its aim to grows even through a crack in the ground.
