Finding Self-Worth
Controls one’s own happiness?
I do.
Yet, there is more to it.
And.
Yet, there is not.
Why DO we fight it so
when the results are
happiness?

Yes, Poetry Tumble Too, finally continues, in spite of work to be done, kitchens to be packed, blogs and books to be read, calls to be made. (Oops, consider that my reminder!)
But I must wait to begin the next poem in the series with the simple line, “happiness”, for poetry and blogging has grabbed valuable time, it was happiness made, but now, the happiness to be made is self-worth in having gotten the job done… so I must start it to get it done!
Do you make your own happiness more often than not?
09. Good Day Find
One can only hope
their day gets better
though, if truth were told,
should they remember
to force a smile or two,
to put one step forward
toward recovering their losses
toward cementing a moment’s peace
in their heart
it would not be hope needed
quite as much as
determination
after realization of
who really
controls one’s own happiness.

07. Revenge of a Woman
of conscious thought
her words were born
by deliberate means
cruel action done
for specific use
(her personal gain)
… had only she
foreseen its cost

08. Appearances – Lost and Found
Foreseen its cost?
I think not.
Neither had dared examine hearts
nor weigh future versus past
for survival of appearances,
high profile man, trophy wife,
had gained a stronghold on their life
And the children went without nothing – material
Neither had dared share dreams pent up
nor weigh humanity versus mannequin
for survival of appearances,
ladder climbed, woman’s beauty flaunted,
had gained a stronghold on their life
And the children learned to climb and paint
Neither had dared test ladder’s construction
nor weigh side effects of repeated surgery
and demise of appearances,
ladder pulled out, trophy tarnished beyond repair,
had gained a stronghold on their life
And the children learned their lesson?
One can only hope.

Collectively 19 of 30, April 2009 Prompt: last line of previous poem in series. Both poems are a continuation of my second series,Poetry Tumble Too.
06. Introspective War
To just be
all I can be
would be enough
but seeking what could be
demands I understand
what. should. have. been.
And does not that require
introspection?
And would not such
sabotage
Muse’s right to freedom
of expression?
and would not such
exhaust
my brain’s resources
of conscious thought?

Write, y’all, it is National Poetry Month. Read, y’all… Get caught up in poetry – of any kind – on any level. There is poetry for everyone somewhere. Let the hunt begin.
Poetry Tumble, Too continues:
Just Be
if only so we, too, can follow along
may you sing your joy
may you warm a heart
may you stretch your dreams
may you increase your wisdom
may you shed your tears
may you bend to help
may you set high goals
may you remember
to just be.
