Regrets and Uncertainties on this Day 788 of the Daily Poems? Our poet Brian Ford really is uncertain!
Uncertainty
A poem about uncertainty?
What subject shall I choose?
I’m undecided.
‘What shall I have for supper tonight?’
Is that subject too trivial?
I’m not sure.
Maybe it should be something much larger;
more significant?
‘Life, the Universe, Everything’?
Would I be biting off more than I can chew?
Possibly.
Something in between perhaps;
a Goldilocks subject,
not too big, not too small,
but more or less OK
for a thirty line poem.
‘To be or not to be’?
H’m,

That’s been done already,
I think.

Perhaps?
Um …
