In his style: A Good Life 2 Have

I'd like to think I've been useful
With all these thoughts on papers
It's not just a bunch of loose bull
More like adventurous wordy capers

Stories for entertainment perhaps
Morals not insinuated, interpreted
For a moment in time, silent lapse
Contemplate these things I've said

Life which is simple, is also beautiful
Enjoy the simplicity of natural things
Hardly could they be anything dutiful-
Just smell flowers, sprouting in spring

Don't think, just feel, about the natural way
Feel the very reality of the nature of real
At least one moment, every passing day
It's a high payoff for a minimal risk deal

Feel the sun bathing your face
Or the shade, clouds given by
And a lover's timeless embrace
After having cooked together, then dined

I plead not for my own fame
But for richness and fullness in all your lives
Stand tall, and discern against shame
Know well the smiles of your children, your wives

About this poem:
My poem a la agoodguy2have, who initially approached me when I suggested the 'paired/impersonation' challenge.

So, here you have it, something of my own hand, inspired by agoodguy2have.

Cheers!

You made a great job of this; you did sound a little like him in parts; i will have to read it a few times to suss it out properly; it has great intelligence and shows much thought and consideration as well as being a good poem in itself. Well done anyway.wine
