Time To Heal/Time To Recuperate

Poetry Form: Rime Royal

It is late spring -- think of my time on earth,

Cry within -- prepare my mortal spirit;

Forty-four years ago, my cosmic birth

Made the decision not to lose my wit.

Even took the time -- penned a few obits

Now that open heart surgery's over

Prepare my temple -- for its makeover.

poddar...those " " are quotation marks and signals someone is speaking in my poems also known as dialogue...or monologue...I put conversations in my poetry because if not I would just be talking to myself, here at least when I talk it down, then I can come up with a response
