oh, the spiritless toil
blood, sweat, and tears
those task-ridden years
day after day after day
work life balance no way
how did I miss the call
life’s not one size fits all
why I’ve spilled enough ink
no copy/paste no lip sync
my vigor up and gone
it’s the same old song
signs signs everywhere signs
shut the noise in my mind
my ego weeps eternally

A gander at me –
I enjoyed a dedicated career in the insurance industry for over 20 years being rewarded both professionally and personally. Now it’s time for me to follow my dreams by doing things I enjoy…spending time with family, learning, sharing, traveling, writing poetry and encouraging others to pursue their goals. My writing and creative endeavors can be found at my blogs, Eugi’s Causerie (And so it goes…) and PoetryPalette (Poetry, a seasonal state of mind), where I have gathered a following of kindred souls who share my passion for writing. I have authored Seasoned Delights, A Haiku Collection and Mama, me and Mother Nature. I am also a published author on Spillwords.
