Gratitude

This is a free verse depicting the life of anyone who has hit the rock bottom but still clinging onto life with hopeful efforts. A six-word story (quoted) is framed at the end.

Sassiness questioned!
Sometimes,
Her reasons are not enough.

Opportunities closed!
Sometimes,
Her effort is not enough.

Baseless arguments!
Sometimes,
Her words are not enough. 

Spunky who’s not spunky

A monkey ‘Spunky’ lost some key to a bunny ‘Bunkey’. Spunky, who’s a flunkey to a hunky junkie, clung to the monkeypod fearing the slinky walk of that clunky lad, abandoning the key in his name ‘spunky’.
