Possibilities
This is my attempt to follow suit with Robert Lee Brewer's "Wednesday Poetry Prompt: #122" on his "Poetic Asides" for today (which link is listed below so you can get a better idea of why I wrote a sonnet today). His theme for the prompt was to write a poem based on using the following theme--"one of these days"....can be found at:

Here's my attempt of using the theme, both as a theme, as actual/literal lines, incorporating them into a Shakespearean Sonnet--enjoy :)
One of these days you’ll read me on the page
one morning, wonder how it is I seem
to share feelings so freely and un-cage
those inner monologues of deferred dream.
One of these days you’ll hear me in your ear
melodizing memories, humming lull-a-byes,
unstick self from "been-there- done-that" career,
exploring nooks, feel crannies with closed eyes.
One of these days you’ll smell me in a room
and wonder if I taste of sunshine through
just after a shower falls mid- afternoon,
soaking up possibilities of "we," too.
How or when those days will actually be
remains all part of the fun--life’s mystery.

OK, y'all have been kind enough to "hear me out"& n stuff, so let me know whatcha think, if I've rattled yer cage, voiced a shared thought or concern, or if you're gonna attain Enlightenment upon reading these DEEP THOUGHTS, or if ya think I'm just plumb WACKO--but please be decent in your expression of your sentiments, there's no need to sling mud, unless we're in POTTERY CLASS or at the BEACH! Thanks for reading n stuff...Laters!
