Maybe Tomorrow the Sixth Poem to Balance These Five

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
—Thomas Alva Edison

Here, you can take back
those words you never said.

*

They say the best thing to do is fail well.
Well, at least we got part of it right.

*

Battered by wind and bent by snow
the daffodil has no idea it is my teacher.

*

Another day, another chance
to celebrate getting it wrong.

*

Inside, there is a live bird trying to get out.
It does no good, the open door.
