Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Busy Or Not

Certain weeks I’m busy
And I run around a lot
So I’m either in a tizzy
Or I’m wondering why not.

For when plans are sometimes lacking
You might think I’d just relax
But I sent those calm genes packing
And I’m antsy to the max.

Though, with age in the equation,
Staying home at times appeals
And I don’t need much persuasion
If the cold nips at my heels.

Yet it’s balance I am seeking,
Busy interspersed with not.
Too much either way I’m freaking
(Which I tend to do a lot).

Arthur Vaso December 12, 2018 at 11:53 PM I really enjoyed this poem, I had read another of yours "other poets" and really liked that one too! I mention because today, in a magazine shop, I found an old poetry book, the clerk was so proud of it, they acquired it in a estate sale, and I bought it, and as I started reading some of the poems it made me think of you, the style and way of writing! It made me smile,and is a compliment to your writings! :)
