Coincidentally, this is the second 44-word poem I have written this week. The other was for the dVerse quadrille challenge. Maybe it’s an omen.
Mom & Me
Mother always pointed out my difficult side;
that contrarian in me, not the exact opposite of good,
more like one who disobeyed, who pushed back,
because I saw life through my own eyes.
Today, I both regret and rejoice my
yin and yang personality.
Look at yourself both ways.
You may not be who you think you are.
Mind the gaps while searching for self.
While I enjoy this musical duet, I am struck by the irony.
Our Literary Journey 
But isn’t that how most people who are true to themselves act? Pushing those boundaries… Well done and yes, rather ironic to see these two singing about being forever true to each other…

Good morning, Dale. Happy Saturday. Thanks for the comment. Yes, we all have two sides. I think by denying that people live lies about who and what they are.

Always best to see life through one’s own eyes—at least, I think so, in the majority of circumstances.
