Settling Down

A subtle euphemism
for Slowing Down
is Settling Down.


Give me one good reason
And I shall surely settle down.
I shall gleefully embrace a life
both predictable and proximate;
I shall slowly follow the herd.

A caveat though, the poet in me
will commit a brutal suicide,
only buying flowers on
birthdays and anniversaries
valentine's and truce ceremonies.

I can completely relate to this poem... I feel like this sometimes. No, in fact, most of the time! I think you've read my poems, sent to you by a friend of yours. And you made a comment about my excessive use brackets.
