Poem

Is my patience a virtue

October 11, 2025

At times I'm lavished and at others empty
In some I'm content though often feel missing
My cup overfloweth, yet bone dry are parts that are key
I look to the barmaid, but again she passes me

Drink what I have to forget what I don't
Hope that enjoyment of what I have means I won't
Forget what I'm yearning, and wrapped up tight waiting for
Is my patience a virtue, or do I wait for scraps on the floor?
