Ametuer at the keyboard...

I do not know structure, rules, etc. I simply write feelings and thoughts. So, forgive the lack of polish. I assume you will all connect the symbolism I tried to use to a much more significant reality. I hope to find in the future that I am not as guilty.

Worth
by Mike Landrum

I love to face upward on moonless nights.
On other nights Ursa Major is easily found.
But on the right night my vision greatly improves.

There are those that stand out and shine bright.
Others go unnoticed. I, too, am guilty.
Hipparchus may not have even noticed them.

However, on those nights I see them.
They shine so soft and faint.
What, really, is their worth?

What would happen without their light?
Would the few brightest do the job?
I hope I don’t ever have to find out.

From now on I am going to try.
Try to discover one I failed to notice before.
That one will have worth in my eyes.


Scott L,

I really want to successfully use MUSE but have failed with every attempt! I know, I am thick. I prefer to consider it creatively challenged. Once I go to the site I cannot find how to post an entree. I know you emailed what to you seemed simple instructions but I failed over and over. I just came from there and can read others posts but played around for 20 minutes with no success determining how to post. So, it isn't due to lack of desire or effort.
