For De’s Quadrille prompt at dVerse Poets Pub. Write a poem of exactly 44 words excluding title. You must use the word “change” or a variant of change: changes, changed, changeling… I am not playing today.
Change Your Life Forever
“Change your life forever
The world will change when you change yourself
Change yourself in Silence…”
Change your life by World Order
This poem doesn’t come with trigger messages.
But this warning is given:
Your life will change.
Stop whining. Stop living in a dream world.
Open the door and go in.
If you want the world to change
Get off your ass and change it.

Amen, sister. I could not agree more. Now, as Mother Teresa would say, everybody go home and love your family.

So do I but I live in the real world.

We all do, unfortunately.

If you never change you have to be prepared to be changed instead, and that’s a lot more painful

Yes it is. And better to do it yourself.

When I read, “I’m not playing today,” I thought you were refusing to write a Quadrille of change. I’m glad to see I was mistaken.

Linda, you always make me smile. 😊

Well, okay, don’t play. You sound a bit testy … but you have a great message!!
Jan 14, 2019 @ 17:40:23
Lol. I am not testy Bev. I am just not choose g to prate on about bad things without doing anything about it. For example, volunteer 3 times a week at a soup kitchen with various feeding programs. I get tired of people going on and on about hunger or childhood hunger who do nothing but write sad poetry and moan. No I am not testy, I am angry. ,😊

A fun prompt – I enjoyed googling different quotes. I posted them at the bottom of my post. 🙂

if you mess with the bull, you get the horns … and this is a sure fire stomping up and down, get off yer ass … and do some.thing.
even small steps are steps … which is better than nothing. or not.one.thing.

So said Vernon to Bender…all the posturing in the world isn’t going to change a thing

Nice line and good advice: “Open the door and go in.”

I hear your message as I am involved in projects of my own. Drumming is a way for me to change the vibrational frequencies in the universe which brings change.
Be the change you desire to bring forth, gift someone in need.
