PAD Challenge day 29: For today’s prompt, write a metric poem.
I love when life is a healthy balance of 'ought' and 'want'... all 'ought' is no fun, all 'want' is no good!
The thought of what I ought to do is tugging at my hand
The taunt of what I want to do is tugging at my heart
The place where dusk chased day away is bright-eyed once
again
With May and Must and other love-entrusted works of art
Where tick-tock meter of the clock, since Time began will
seal
The pictures tinctured with our touch, on Past’s elusive
reel
Thus, between ‘ought’ and ‘want’ I wrest
Where voice of choice will soon attest
