In the Noose

Man is noosed in a rabbit
snare, anxious to be about his
business, busy-busy.
Transitions, places to go
deals to make
and now the noose has
taken hold

if only he had spent more time
sharing supper with family
and friends, too late,
oh no, not.

Pry yourself loose and
debate the issues — lean on the
Lord and encourage those
who love you and your
birthright will be an accolade
of bright colours.

Optimism underpinned by assuredness. Well expressed Richard. I have just put up a new one and would appreciate your opinion Richard, no probs if you can't manage it right now :-)

Thank you for your encouraging words, Scratch. My head is full of images, and anxious to get out of their cage. I wrote a comment on your new poem, Barn OWL; an excellent poem. Richard LP
