to be cautious kills the spirit
we learn by doing wrong
be careful is a curse uttered by automatons
being human’s being wrong
being wrong’s being willing
being willing’s living life, the life that we’ve been given
is fear of failure fear of living?
like growing without roots?
i think maybe so so go and screw the pooch.
That was my attempt at three word wednesday, something paisley introduced me to. I thought I’d give it a try since she told me it was addictive. Very few things I like better than addictive. The URI is below. Go play.

This is one of my favorite words :)
man… not bad for a first timer!!!LOL this is excellent.. angst and reason all balled up and thrown in my face!!!!! love it!!!!!
fine bit of wisdom there
Good job for your first time around.
And yes, it is addictive. But a good addiction.
I like it. That’s great. As per my post about writing, I have a hard time with poetry so I think you’ve definitely got me beat!

Ooooh, excellent point… even if it makes me nervous :)
Welcome to 3WW! :)
That’s a very good starter to 3ww. Paisley’s right, by the way. It IS addictive.
I do belive whypaisley nailed it. And Mr. Greybeard, you do do ‘addictive’ better than anyone I know. Wish I had more time to play myself…wait…that doesn’t sound right.
Words of Wisdom.
do as i say not as i do
Wow… I’ll have to check out that 3WW site. Sounds like another place for me to play (when I should be working…. shhhhhhhhhhhh).
BTW, great poem. :-)
Love the “slap” of wisdom in this! Confronting and definitely thought provoking!

“being human’s being wrong

Wow- that’s awesome, man!
So, so true.
We have to be willing to be wrong or right. We can’t do either without being willing to try. I love it.
Nice job.
Sounds like a site I may have to check out.

…bein wrong is bein willin… that is heaven to me… humbling willful desire…
Thank you all for the kind words. I’m just trying to have a little good clean fun.
I think fear of failure is OK as long as it doesn’t keep one from trying.
Well done. And welcome to 3 Word Wednesday.
