Yet to Be

Posted on by

Who am I to be? I deign not to ask

A decision not mine to make alone

An ovarian joins to complete that task

I lay dormant in a state of my own

Not yet of flesh, sinew or even bone

I’m half the potential that’s yet to be

For now frozen in anonymity

  1. Oh, the Rhyme Royal! Bane of my existence I mean, not really, but it did give me many, many headaches when I worked on one a day! Yours moves so smoothly, really nice!
