On Change – (Weekly 6SS & Sijo Challenge)
If you’re always short of time the chances are, you’ve not got a plan.
Those who don’t … find themselves scrambled, exhausted, when shit hits the fan.
Those who prepare for the unexpected, encounter it with ease.
-o0o-
Being prepared gives you an edge, when opportunities arise.
Those who focus can visualise … what it takes to get the prize.
Those who suffer from distractions do find themselves, outwith control.
(Double Sijo)
Poem inspired by Ronovan’s new Sijo challenge #8 – CHANGE. Do click through if you, too would like to join in.

Expanded to fit Denise’s Six Sentence Story prompt #203 – CONTROL. Also click through if you, would like to join in!.

Nice use of rhyme. Good advice in that first sentence. Without a (good) plan, one will be short of time.

funny about our (universal) belief in control, maybe it’s not so much as regulating the level of surprise?
lol

I often have a plan, it’s those dastardly distractions stirring the focus pot that ultimately throws me off course!
