Purpose and habits; a ladder to success
With a reason, I’m motivated:
To impress the interviewer or the boss
To get published or noticed
To avoid embarrassment
To zip the dress or button the pants
Purpose and habits; like a harmonious duet
With habits, I’m present:
On good days and bad
Whether I have something to say or not
Because I know it’s good for me
Now part of my identity

You certainly packed a lot of thoughts into these 2 stanzas. We certainly are strongest as people and writers when we have both – the harmonious duet as you referred to them. I’m left thinking of out duets in life…..

I just finished reading The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevdeo with my students, so I have been hyperfoucsed on the physical structure of poetry. I love the structure of your poem. For me, it seems to reflect the tone of the poem: clean, concise, purposeful. Thank you for sharing your art.
