Carpe diem 'Seize the Day' How bold... <br />Seize The Day. How does one do that? <br /> <br />Carpe diem, there are days, that like a <br />thief in the night, sneak up behind me, <br />and SEIZE ME! <br /> <br />Carpe diem...Seize The Day, how wonderful, <br />when there are days, that are within my <br />grasp...and then...I seize them! <br /> <br />Ahhh, now that I have them, I sometimes wonder, <br />what the hell do I do with that sized day, now? <br /> <br />I always was of the opinion that one should only <br />size the days, that they have a purpose for. <br /> <br />Now if I planed to stay indoors all day, what <br />would be the point of seizing the day? <br /> <br />On the other hand, to plan a lovely day, with <br />someone you care about-now that's a day to size! <br /> <br />Trust me, do not size any day, that you know not <br />what to do with. For if you do, you're dragging this <br />day around with you, not knowing what the hell <br />to do with it. <br /> <br />In all respects to the latins, who coined that <br />phrase, Carpe Diem, 'size the day, ' most of <br />them had no idea, what to do, with the day they sized! <br /> <br />Now the next time, someone utters those famous <br />words, Carpe Diem, 'size the day, ' look them <br />square in the eye and ask, <br />'If you size this day, what are you going to do <br />with it? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />© Joe Fazio<br /><br />(brief renderings) Joe Fazio<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/carpe-diem-34/
