a big circle,
full of family
and like minded peers,
people who hang
around happy,
progressing through early years.

a grand circle,
greater than ever
before heard or seen,
friends in all classes
at all times with
records squeaky clean.

a planetary circle,
seemingly knowing all
and reaching for everything,
certain that your
planet brings only
peace and good offerings.

a reasonable circle,
professional and trying
to be perfect and pristine,
each item fits in its
place and extras have
been cut from the scene.

a small circle,
perhaps four or
maybe even five,
to travel this tiny
circumference would hardly
be a lengthy drive.

a flat circle,
more of a coin
with two smooth sides,
despite impressive efforts
you have only two options
while for more you have tried.

a sad circle,
barely big enough for
just you to fit,
but thoughts of better
circles find space in your
mind while small you still sit.
