The Rhyming Side of Chi

As I practice T’ai Chi every day
seems like everything’s going my way.
My students love classes and show up in masses
the mutual love we convey.

One student found relief from her joint pain
another found deeper religion
Still another felt fine
when he straightened his spine
says it cured him from being a curmudgeon.

While reading my Journal I’ve found
inspiring proses abound.
Thought I’d send my submission
of grand composition
but my pen simply circles around.

Think I, “Be like Justin and Steve
Inspirational thoughts they conceive.
Listen with prudence
what you say to your students
and surrender to Chi and believe.”

So to T’ai Chi Chih practice I go
for creative juices to flow.
Thoughts turn on a dime,
but they all seem to rhyme.
It won’t fit in the Journal I know.

Then I thought do I have to be elegant?
Do I have to be solemn and kind?
Who says there’s a law that humor’s a flaw
when channeling Chi through your mind?

So I guess I just have to be me.
And using a different parameter,
here’s a rhyme for your journal
from the CHI that’s eternal
in a phrase of iambic pentameter.
