My Life -- Yep, this is me, sooner or later -- Poem for dVerse

I have lived the life I needed to live 

I've done all the things I've needed to do 

Peace with the Lord 

Done most of the things I've wanted to do *

So when I'm called to my forever home 

I feel with great hope I'll be welcomed there **

Shout happily to me

Well done thou good and faithful servant 

The things I haven't done please you could do 

If you wish  

Like touch the South Pole and own a Corvette, ***

“My battery is low and it’s getting dark” *** 

 _ _ _ 

NOTES: 

 * This first verse is my life in a nutshell.  Some slight deviations though, who is perfect? Travel big, all 50 States and 77 countries (my list).

 ** "Hope" being faith in the Lord and his promises.

 ***  "Mars rover ‘Opportunity’" per Laura, our tutor for this exercise Poem, one of several ending possibility requirements.

Spells and spellng - a Write for dVerse Quadrille

Spell of good fortune 

Cast upon my dame 

Lasted a long spell 

When it was over 

Riches and good looks 

Upon her fell spell 

others she loved 

Our loving spell doomed 

Onery spell moral is 

'Riches, good looks 

Those two spell trouble'

""T"  "R"  . . . "

 - I'm linked with Sanaa at dVerse for this Quidrille #154, Casting a Poetic Spell at 

https://dversepoets.com/2022/06/13/quadrille-154-casting-a-poetic-spell/ 

 - Our "Quadrilles" have exactly forty-four words, and are considered "Flash Writing" due to their shortness.  

 - For us we are given ONE WORD which we must use, today Sanaa has given us "Spell".  This word has three meanings, making it a "homogram" with three homographs. 

 - My writing is also a Flash Poem in many circles based on syllable count, I have 56 syllables, twenty-five in each line of the first five, then fourteen in the second and seventeen in the last.   Most times I like either 55 or 144 as those two are magic for either syllables or words, as is 44.
