Time for Poetics in the dVerse Poets Pub ~ Merril is hosting ~ the subject of "fate" is the direction we are heading ~ how we interpret fate, how fate impacts our lives ~~
Fate it seems wears a lab coat
scribbling notes in the
margins of my chromosomes
chuckling over coffee with
Madame Destiny ~ betting on whether
I'll get my Dad's cholesterol or
my Mother's luscious brunette locks
DNA that sneaky old scroll
rolled up tight like a military tent
passed along like fruitcake
nobody wants ~ but everyone takes
a bite of
I am a walking talking heirloom
fair skin and blue eyes ~ both
second-hand traits
proof that nature loves
a remix and
fate has a sense of humour!
