Certain Days

Certain days feel much longer than long With too much in the world that is wrong But I don’t have a clue If there’s more we can do Than just suck it all up and be strong. For complaining accomplishes naught And despite all that we have been taught There are times we’re just stuck When not even some luck Can provide the relief that we’ve sought. We can hope that tomorrow will bring An injection of gusto and zing Or a smidgeon of hope Lowered down like a rope For escaping, to which we can cling.

Writing can be therapeutic as your poem demonstrates. I've been struggling with a poem for over a month now and getting nowhere with it but can't put it down. I know when and if zi finish it I will feel exhilarated if only for having persisted. / M

I really admire the ease within which you have created this set of Limericks that attests to the struggles we are going through Ilene. I am unable to even come up with one Limerick. Bravo! Blessings xxoo
