Question: Will you show temperance after reading!?
Please don't jump to any conclusions to quickly here!
Timidity and Temerity
Timidity and Temerity met one day
in forest glen beneath sky reach falls!.
In this pleasant setting an epic began
the battle of wills, contested here
Temerity had ambitious plans
and Timidity had awkwardness,
yet somehow they sat on blanket laid
and talked of love and other things
And Mother sensing something here
made her water sing her tunes
while sending forest scents wafting
and bubble clouds drifting!.
Well by now you guessed the ending
or at least you think you did…
For Timidity and Temerity did join that day
and their name became Temperance!
So laugh you may or even turn away
but hopefully see the moral here
for opposites do have a middle
and conclusions should evolve!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Aren't words funny things!? Timidity and Temerity - so similar in structure and sound and yet meaning two completely distinct things!. Very clever to have spotted that and for producing such an interesting poem!. We could do with a bit more temperance in this world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
"Hi!"
I Love the poem theme, 'Opposites attract'!.
I'd like to think so!.
It sad to say; that i didn't require a dictionary, but it still took me 3 times to read it before I comprehended the poem!.
Well done!

This poem seems to portray the attraction of two lovers and how they balanced each other out!. On a philosopical note it says something about mankind!. It says people are unbalanced and need others for stability!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
