Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Bewildering

Do you ever feel as if life is passing you by
You're drowning in a sea's whirlpool of flux
and there's no one around to hear you cry
Sometimes life sucks!   It really sucks

There are times when I feel like I don't belong
Annoyed by friends who can act like schmucks
I try to do the right thing, but it turns out wrong
Sometimes my life sucks! It really sucks.

I wrote a poem and had it formatted to enter
It was an edited sonnet;  romantic lines in redux
But when I hit 'submit'  I cursed my Tormentor
My computer sucks!  It really sucks.

I'm often plagued with decisions and questions
and find myself standing at a crossroads,  a crux
and all I get are a lot of ridiculous suggestions
Feeling bewildered sucks!  Yeah, it sucks.

Life should be filled with sunshine and flowers
I fell in love, but he didn't love me back. Shucks!
My heart was broken. Tears fell in salty showers
Love sucks!        Today, everything does.

Hannington Mumo August 13, 2020 at 9:08 PM While it may not be an extreme case with the composer herself, life's turns are often blandly uninspiring in the main...and adults' lives, that is - our boundlessly optimistic younger sisters' and brothers' merry Christmas seems to occur every day of their interminably blissful existence herebelow. So this is a pretty fertile niche for any introspective versifier's literary forays; and you've done it tolerable justice, Jenna:-) Congrats! Jenna Logan August 14, 2020 at 12:00 PM Thank you very much for leaving such a detailed review, Hannington. I appreciate your perspective.

Panagiota Romios August 13, 2020 at 12:15 PM What an honest poem. I will be honest, Jenna. I only live one day at a time, so when A day is bad, I declare that the totality of life must suck for everyone on the planet. Losses in my life I have not penned about much. But I can complain and my daughter is all over me to knock it off. She cannot bear my bitterness. My heart has been broken so often, it's a wonder However, you got your points across well. You are truthful. Hurrah Forever~ Pangie xx Jenna Logan August 14, 2020 at 11:59 AM Your theory sounds plausible. I think you may have found a guide to happiness, Pangie. I always love reading your comments. I never know what to expect and I'm never disappointed by them.

Jan Allison August 13, 2020 at 5:20 AM Life can suck my friend but your poetry certainly doesn't! love the rhyme here especially schmucks lol:-) hugs Jan xx Gershon Wolf August 20, 2020 at 6:28 PM Ha ha ha! Do you lovely ladies know what the word 'shmuck' really means?! It's Yiddish derogatory slang for the male member... Ooh, that tickles! lol. Here's a vocabulary quiz for you: Shmekel is to shmuck as ______ is to Huck. Good luck!! All Smiles, Gershon Jenna Logan August 14, 2020 at 11:58 AM That's quite a compliment, Jan. I am honored by them, so thank you.

John Gondolf August 13, 2020 at 4:30 AM I enjoyed this wonderfully penned piece of poetry, Jenna, at times I feel this way...it really sucks. :) Best of luck in the contest, perhaps another winner here. Hugs, John Jenna Logan August 14, 2020 at 11:57 AM I'm sure we all feel that way, especially in the last few months, but try to remain positive. I don't know about winning. I've had my share of disappointments lately, but it's trivial in the big picture. Thank you for leaving your generous comments, John.
