Regrettably Stagnant

stagnant I lay…
zealously yearning 
yet reluctant to play

This is really wonderful. Natalie.. It makes one stop and think. And I think I do this far too much. Fear is my reluctance. Thank you Natalie for my placement in your Die A Fun Death Contest. That was for sure a fun contest to enter.

i know what you mean - and really people could interpret this in so many different areas of their lives. Sometimes I'm like this in a social setting, though sitting instead of lying down. I love how this rhymes :) great flow.

It sounds like you are some instrument. So it is like a cool personification, natalie. Good one!

You - stagnant, me - stagnant too! :0) Great free Haiku here, dear Natalie...I watched your Youtube video. Are you enjoying your new car? It must've been so exciting to be on TV and win! What was the process though? Did you start in Las Vegas?

Fabulous! I love that it's only 2 lines, and I am totally enamoured with the rhyme in it... You really are a Rogue Rhymer, Natalie. Bravo, Viva Regrettably Stagnant! ~ECMc
