Poem a day challenge

[profile] hazelkate issued a "Poem a day" challenge for the month of April, over on Yahoo 360.  I figured "What the heck, I'll give it a shot" then promptly failed to do so.  This is my first poem for April. I haven't had much to write. So I started pushing the words, in hopes that they would make sense at some point.

A Woman's Perogative

It's a woman's perogative
to change her mind
Fractious, facetious and fey
But capricious whim
is not quite what you'll find
looking back at the end of the day.

A woman considers
each possible choice
and many seem likely or wise.
It's thinking too much
that brings multiple voice
when she morphs 'til she's unrecognized.

So give pause and ponder
her next change of thought
consider how she has arrived
at the change of decision
situation has wrought
and the mental gymnastics survived.


I NEVER rhyme. Damn.
