This was a project I did basically during the pandemic. I started writing a poem a day. Once ‘real life’ started again it got harder to write everyday, which is interesting.
Keep on a-going
I tried to make something great
Instead I made something I hate
I tried to bake lovely nice bread
Tasted more like rough tire treads
I tried to take a swim in a lake
There was me and there was the snake!
I tried to rake up all the leaves
Instead I just started to sneeze!
I tried to wake up at seven
But was in bed until after eleven!!
Sometimes right after the trying
You are left feeling like crying
But you have to keep on a-going
Because doing is not about knowing
