POEMS: Step By Step and Plucky Ducky

My Friendburst blog #300!  Congrats to me!

These were created for the CPC Magic Monday and Pick-Apart Poetry challenges respectively.  The Monday theme was “The Magic Of a Step.”

STEP BY STEP

Step right up and try your luck,
taking one step at a time.
Steppenwolf stepped lively.
Russian Steppes far from sublime.

Step increase raises your pay.
Lead, follow,or step aside.
Step away from the vehicle;
Step in it and hurt your pride.

One step forward, two steps back
no formula for success.
One letter shy of a strep throat;
sometimes more is really less.

PLUCKY DUCKY

Whatever task you tackle,
inside, in the soul of you,
do you dread the toil,
or stand up to fear fully,
and pluck it?
You must do that,
or you are plucked.

Words plucked from the poem “How Do You Tackle Your Work” by Edgar Guest
