Resourceful

Poem: Resourceful

 

Make the most of what you can

With where you are

And with what you’ve got

Be that with very little or with quite a lot

 

 

 

Review: Resourceful

 

I’m not sure about this as I’m met with an instruction at the start from the poet with:

“You’ve got to”

I’m about to “be told” something here, am I not?

Who likes having an instruction or being told what to do?!

The poet is being very resourceful or perhaps confident by not introducing themselves and going straight in with connecting. I suppose the title, ‘Resourceful’  is therefore a fitting clue to not be putting the reader’s nose out of joint.

 

What is it that you are telling me that I should do according to you, poet?!

Good job I don’t judge (not to start with at least. I leave that to the end) I observe, and I am curious. I don’t invite bees into bonnets. I read on.

Making full use of what comes one’s way? If I am interested, if I like the look of it, the sound of it and it deserves my attention in the environment where I find myself in then yes to that. It has to be attractive. Horses for courses and eye of the beholder eh?

Over time I have learnt to adapt and adjust to where I am. That’s ongoing. It continues as no two days are the same. Some days I carry very little, other days I carry more.

Very little? How best to use that?

A lot? How best to carry or distribute the load so that it can be done with ease and none of it goes to waste?

Poet, you’ve made me question! Not sure if that’s good or bad?

This is my cup of tea however and up my street when it comes to advice, which I don’t seek. It has a knack of seeking me with well composed words. Thank you poet

My ‘resourceful’ judgement to conclude is as follows:

I am interested.

I like the look of you and the sound of you

I am attracted.

You deserve my attention.

The little rhyming works. There is a good flow throughout the poem.

I like to read something that chimes. Ding!
