d’Verse Poets -Poetics: Because, Because, Because
Mish has us dancing down the yellow brick road over at the pub
–
Sometimes A Coward
–
Sometime, I think, I am just
Like that lion – all puffed up
Making noise – bluffing my way
Through the tough parts of life
Running away or staying silent
Hoping no one will notice me
Or ask for my help when it
Really counts
Sometimes, I think, I am just
Like that lion – cowardly and in
Need of some courage
A cheesy badge from a fake
Wizard won’t do the trick but
If you hold my hand I know I
Can brave even a wicked witch
I think we all have had our times of being the cowardly lion. You have described it very well.

The cheesy badge, memories of the movie flood my mind. Your description takes me to my childhood. Beautiful.

I think we’ve all been there, even the cheesy badge seems familiar, Candy! And it’s true,
‘If you hold my hand I know I
Can brave even a wicked witch’.

Good point–it’s not the badge but having help with someone holding one’s hand.

This is wonderful, Candy. It resonates with me. I like the repetition of “Sometimes…..” I think we all feel this way sometimes.
