Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Hopelessly Stuck

I’m stuck in the present
And stuck in the past.
I’m all out of room
From the stuff I’ve amassed.

The future may beckon
But I can’t respond
Because I’m so stuck
I can’t see the beyond.

Where once I possessed
Much more moxie and pluck,
Today I’m depleted
And hopelessly stuck.

James Ranahan January 19, 2015 at 8:26 PM Funny, I was thinking what a great way to get unstuck... write a poem. Let me know if you do. Good luck, Jim

Trevor Mcleod January 19, 2015 at 4:21 PM That's a marvelous idea for a poem Ilene. I think it's true: we do less with more I find.
