Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

Did You Knock

At the beginning you're easy to manage
Then slowly I push you away
As others fill your space
Time is gone so fast each day
Justified
I just want to rest now
I will finish later this chore
That obligation
So easy to glide out the door
Past you...did you knock?
Twice?
I didn't really forget you
A nagging presence.  Notes left
Behind
The deadlines are always down the street
Fear is a stopper.  The procrastinator
Such relief when you are all done
Just knock

Caren Krutsinger June 21, 2019 at 7:42 AM I have to tell you that I have my phone turned off unless I want to make a call out; this eliminates a lot of problems. Ha!

Andrea Dietrich June 8, 2019 at 10:11 AM this is very interesting. I am trying to figure out if it's an actual person or a symbol for something else. Let me see your very first post! Jeanne Mcgee June 8, 2019 at 10:59 AM Good morning Andrea....for me, it is about procrastination, putting off someone or something that I don't want to deal with until I have to. I usually can feel the presence of "nagging thoughts" what I haven't done and still need to do!
