what a bunch of ... napowrimo #28

Something tells me to leave it alone

I know I won’t ‘cause it’s not my fashion

Should I steal away?

Catch a forbidden kiss

I have never listened to my logic

I have thrown caution to the wind

Or was that the other way round?

How can you do that anyway?

Sounds like a bunch of crap to me

Something told me to leave it alone

But I didn’t …

And I am confident I never will

    Excellent, Pam! Like this a lot--and yea, it's so hard to listen to that damn little voice inside telling us what not to do.

    from Therese B. -- "Or was that the other way around" -- I can relate to this second-guessing. Always another way to look at something. Thanks for this.

    "Don't pick at it - it'll leave a scar!"

    Mom was right.

    Like this notion of a little devil on the shoulder tempting us to be naughty - isn't restrant overrated?

    You've captured the second-guessing, the quick bouts between confidence and abject doubt. "Or was that the other way round?"

    (btw, the pink square thing is a running joke [I think] concerning my poem "kiss it")

    Ah, the dilema of the good cop/ bad cop inside all of us. Dynamic dialectics at work.

    Great stuff, Pamela!

    I've noticed that a lot of poets in the past several days have started writing these poems about throwing caution to the winds for the sake of... well, satisfaction and relief and a happy ending. Do you think the month is starting to get to us? ;)

    Hi Pam,

    Nothing's wrong. That was me doing a famous line from a Robert de Niro film and being your pseudo-conscience! Didn't mean to alarm!!
