Robert Brewer's Wednesday Poetry prompt~14/05/2014~"Unexpected"

15/5/2014

0 Comments

 
For this week’s prompt, write a poem in which the unexpected happens. Could be a good unexpected–like receiving a gift from an anonymous person; could be a bad unexpected–like having someone break into your house; could be a confusing unexpected–like having a complete stranger propose marriage. Whatever you’re unexpected, have fun poeming!
UNEXPECTED
By John Yeo

Just breezing along life’s way,
Drifting with the patterns of time,
Day follows day as life flows on
The minor upsets shrugged away.
Up with the lark and off to the garden
Weeding, struggling with Nature’s wiles,
Wind and rain and sunny smiles.
Change is gradual, never sudden.

Until today when I got the post
A long white envelope in my door
I must attend a meeting to my advantage
With a well known attorney at law.
The meeting is solemn, there is a will
I am now a wealthy man.
My fortunes have changed, my life rearranged
Life will never be  quite the same.

I wonder if the seeds I sowed will survive
The garden of life goes on.
