Unpredictable

“Forever might be short”

Emily Dickenson



The length of a life

Unpredictable

Close guesses may suffice

For race car drivers, 

    acrobats and astronauts

A guess is just a guess

“forever might be short”

Best get things done

Plant seeds, write poetry,

paint the woodwork

The end of life

Unpredictable

Today’s poem - the first for NaProWriMo 2022
