R U?
What would it take?
R U willing to risk the inevitable cost?
Could be dear.
Consider this:
Why can’t you just be?
Happy?

Sometimes.
A reinvention of my life.
The risk of ensuing cost is why I haven’t yet.
No idea.
Sometimes.
You have asked questions to make one think, Kim. I think it is what it is – a stark reminder that we should be careful what we wish for…
You are right, Kerry…
I don’t think it’s bad. I rather like it. I’m happy.
YAY! Glad you’re happy, Laurie. I most often am, but sometimes, days, weeks… the blues grab me by the nape of my neck and force re-evaluation. Have a great week!
the inevitable cost! oh no!
Oh Yes!
Kim,
Oh, it’s not that bad! Why can’t you just be happy with it?!! I’m submitting one I wrote for Bad Poetry Day this year. I did my humble best to include every cliche and awful metaphor I could think of. Bad spelling too!
I wish I’d thought of the bad spelling angle Kim mentioned – in fact, I fancy seeing this one start with text-speak…”R U?” It would plumb the very depths of bad! LOL
Okay Jinksy… I changed it just for you!
Yes, text-speak would have been good! or bad!
As you can now see, I changed it. And I have to tell you… you mastered the cliche with your “bad” effort. :-)
This was a fun exercise!
Well, I didn’t see it until after you changed to text-speak, and it’s perfect. Perfect bad poetry, with an overlay of truth.

Thanks a million, Kay. From bad to worse… in verse!
With or without text speak, its dreadful, but the RU makes it dreadfuller. Bravo!
Yay for the dreadful!
Send-up similar poems declared “awesome” by dozens of commentators. Very good bad.
Glad you approve of my bad.
