RULES
Society dictates
That we live by certain rules
Behave like well trained puppies
Such as we are taught.
Rules control success, safety, pleasure, conformity
Some rules are cast in stone
Some rules vary by setting, situation, players
Laws of nature
Cannot be denied
Social norms prevail
Laws and guidelines
Regulations
Employment policies
License restrictions
But ultimately ... rules
And yet as individuals
Amongst all these imposed conventions
We insist on the creation of our own personal rules-
personal preferences, limitations, expectations
Which are the hardest to obey?
Extrinsic or intrinsic
Self enforced, I think.
What circumstances?
What consequences?
What contradictory behavior most rewarding?
Self enforced, I think.

My blog is not going to include rants about the world and life's wrongdoings. It's probably not going to hold a diary of what's going on in my life. But, what it is going to contain is my poetry. I have been writing it for over 30 years. Some of what I post will be old, and some of it will be recent. You may find you can relate to some of what I write .. if so .. cool. If not, click the X and move on.. I'm open to feedback. Thanks to all of you who have been my inspiration, my muses.
