Boldly I Go!

Boldly I Go!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Rocketing to "Braverdude Sphere'!

"
                                                              

I've made up my mind to be braver than brave,

 

Stronger than strong, facing the future with grace,

 

Afraid of nothing; manning up and---except who am I kidding?

 

More like, "Sniveling, I fold like a cheap tent

 

In a windstorm; wilt like the Coward Flower

 

In a hurricane; like a sad sack of hidden fear

 

In a 3-piece suit, except I'm about 3 pieces short;

 

I am afraid I'd give you the wrong impression;

 

That you'd think I was showing off

 

No, informal clothes and formal fear is how I roll!

Thank you much!
The first two lines are the best. You could have "gone where no man has gone before..."

Yeah, a good 'Star Trek' reference would have been cool; 'live long and prosper' and thank you!

About
I write for fun; I write comedy pieces and some dramatic stuff. I have no formal writing education, and I have a fear of being told I suck, and maybe I should give up on writing, and get a job makin.. more..
