Today's theme for Poetry Monday is Requirement. Poetry Monday is a challenge, normally hosted by Diane at On the Border.
But from last Monday, January 8, 2024, Messymimi
and I have conspired to keep the chair
warm for her, as she's taking a break due to
health issues. We will each set the topics for one month, I begin with
January, Mimi is gong to tackle February, and so on until Diane returns.
Requirements? The old Pandaren in World of Warcraft says it perfectly: "Family. Friends. Food. These are what matter most." But that's not a rhyme. So I did my best here:
Requirement is what we need -
House, family, something to eat.
And tea or coffee, something sweet
without them life is hard to meet.
Requirement is what we need
And all the daily, dreary deed
And valorous, heroic strife
are both requirements for life.
Requirement is what we need
a tree to plant, to sow a seed.
The large and small of everyday
Is all we need to do and say.
