Do you? I do

Do you hesitate when

Your thoughts have all unwound

To press the upload button

 And spread them all around ?

 

I do

 

 

Do you hesitate if

Your language seems bit rough

Will it upset readers

Does it sound bit tough ?

 

I do

 

Do you press regardless 

Cos that's the way you are

Want your thoughts to screen out

Regardless, near and far ?

 

But wait....

 

Do you still hold, hesitate

Is it up to par

To your poetic standard

Where youv'e set your bar ?

 

I've finished hesitating

Say it's just too bad

I hit the upload button

New poem to be had

 

Don Mat

i like your defiance - sounds as if you are feeling better.

Good to see that time spent healing in bed
Is producing positivity inside your head! ?
