    Poem Commentary

    Monday thru Friday, err, each day of the week seems too often to just be routine, regardless whether we are at work, church, or even the store. People do so many things in patterns. A high school psych teacher - some of you may remember him - Mr Bettis - taught us that much of our life will be filled with routine...yes, I must say it, he was right. Thanks Mr Bettis, Foothill High, 1983.

    Patterned People

    Seamstress cuts on dotted lines,
      keeping straight the cut,
    dealer deals another hand,
      players are wondering what.

    Foreman’s late again,
      schedule’s in disarray,
    tomorrow just another one,
      workers in constant dismay.

    Patterned people, too easy to perceive,
      their next move, what they think,
    sometimes leads me to frustration,
      drives me nearly to the brink.

    No one seems to listen,
      room filled with too much pride,
    each week I go again,
      beside Him I will abide.

    There is hope for us all,
      the clones passing below the steeple,
    we pray and give praise,
      still, we’re all just patterned people.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
