Yes Dear With Flighty Emotions

Scrub floors or walk the plank Cook continuously Emotions flighty felt Swim vigorously in sea What bad could happen next On sea floating within inch Of boat with slow gait What an experience Next time I'll just say, "Yes, dear" for it will be Much safer than the plank And sharks in open sea.

I like the way your words collide to cover up something sinister; like pulling lips over gritting teeth to imitate a smile. Well done. Gisele

You've been through a lot lately, Sara, and I can feel your struggles so well in your poem. Resignation to mediocrity often takes place over attempts to walk through difficulty, as a plan over the open sea filled with sharks. Deep and powerful poetry! Love, Carolyn
