Initiative
The Czar once told me
Initiative
Before practice even began
Initiative
Is essential to being a man
Initiative
He spelled it, came out quite surly
Initiative
Gang, on time is fifteen minutes early
Initiative
Before we met him, he knew
Initiative
Because he said "your reputation preceeds you."
Initiative
Life was always on the go
Initiative
We'd better have our ducks in a row
Initiative
Before you go packing
Initiative
See things before they happen
Initiative
So began the season
Initiative
Before I knew it, packed up and leaving
Initiative
Enjoy it now, before long
Initiative
Those years dead and gone

I remember this style working for you in the past, and it works pretty well in this piece, too. Wait, it takes initiative to get initiative, right? I guess we have to give to get and get to give...I like how you present an ideal of what "initiative" might look like, and drive home your point in those final lines.

Reminds me of my favourite teacher. His word was ' manners' . To my eternal regret, I've let that slip at times over the years. Thank yoiu. |

initiative happens for me after a good cup of coffee, i
love how you wrote about a word and way of life that
has such meaning for you- that by writing this poem-
shared something deeply ingrained within you with us all,
