The Return (Sonnet)

Image copyright Andrew Martin on Pixabay

Shall I celebrate my return to life
Or will I know I am facing more strife
Too many struggles wear a body down
Sorrow makes souls want to not come back 'round

I'll come back again because I suppose
I'll have unfinished business left in droves
Stories without endings, and the laundry
To return or not is the soul's quandary

I suppose no matter what the trouble
If asked, I'll be back here on the double
Come back again to give it one more try
How is there such a foolish soul as I?

I know some folks I'll want to see again
I wish fewer broken hearts and more friends

NaPoWriMo: Write a poem about something that comes back. I'm the proverbial bad penny. You can't get rid of me.

April PAD Challenge: Write a praise poem. This poem sort of praises reincarnation, right?

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
