Very Young
Oh, very young,
with a dictum for every deliberation,
a solution for every situation,
an opinion for every conversation.
Oh, very young, true wisdom has a doubt.
Oh, very young,
With a plan for every exigency
A protocol for every emergency
A path for every divergency.
Oh, very young, true growth is playful.
Oh, very young,
So set in your phase,
I would stay a while but you were already
very young when I got here.

Honestly, I’m not sure how the publishing thing is going to work out. I’ve researched a lot of self publishing options and I’m certainly not averse to putting some money where my poems are. As an independent recording artist (www.lindaconnellstudley.com) I’ve self financed the production of two CDs which have paid for themselves and now earn me royalties. But it takes a lot of energy and discipline to self promote. The creation phase is the fun part, then you have to do the hard work (marketing). Although marketing can be fun too – just the attitude you bring to it I guess! Thanks for your comment; perhaps I should also post some blogs about what I find out about publishing as I go along. People may be interested in that. Thanks for the idea!
