The Struggle is Zeal

Libras seek balance
In a world where there is none
Struggle is futile


Zealously defend
What the universe demands
Jealously protects


Still we soldier on
Weighing effort against time
Feigning sacrifice.

Circle of Five–in response to the Daily Post’s Writing Prompt

I. favorite number
five; superstition dictates.
i am a child born
on the fifth day of
the tenth month, a multiple
of five. mystical.

II. give me five, one hand 

thrust open in greeting, slapped 

up high, down low, slide 

across palms touching, friendship 

displayed playfully.

III. ring ’round the rosie 

pocket quite full of posey, 

all but five fall down.

a circle drawn in

childish games mocking death’s role

In childhood forgot.
