BEFORE IT BIDS ADIEU

The best laid plans of mice and men...

 BEFORE IT BIDS ADIEU

It started as a simple plan
Without a tear or stain.
It took no time at all to set
And proffered little pain.

But as the day wore on and on
A funny thing took place.
That plan took flight of its own will
And left without a trace!

I set to find it with a chance
To clip the wings right short,
And offer it a place to stay...
If there were soft retort!

But then alas it seemed too good
To be a simple thing.
My plan was lost within the room
Of written words that sang.

I sat me down with pen and pad
To scribe the plan anew.
I’ll be a bit more careful now...
Before it bids adieu!

Take solace Sharon, I don't think I've ever been able to complete a piece that I planned. It always turns into something different by the time I finish it.
As always a pleasure to read.

yes, the best laid plans...i think writing just happens most of the time...some of us if we try to plan, it impedes the words rather than letting them flow out...

You are so right on Jacob. Thanks for the input. ~SP
