"Is That All There Is?"

Carry On Tuesday # 141

This week we have as our prompt the title of Peggy Lee's wonderful musical soliloquy

Is That All There Is? 
 
 
When we understand what we always knew,
When we remember what we never forgot,
When we find what we ever had,
We will look it in the eye,
And wonder,
“Is that all
 There
Is?”




Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur

    1. It really made sense to me last night, my poem, I wonder if it's going to make any sense today... :-)

  2. What a wonderfully constructed nonet! Having all we ever wanted isn't all that there is.

    1. I had a slightly different interpretation in mind, but I'm glad my poem allows for more than one! Thanks, Denise!
