It Is One of Those Times

It is one of those times Surely hard to do this rhyme With plenty of things going wrong Just trying to get by and along Cell phone and computer break Try to write, screen goes haywire and I take… A deep breath, and another one Then the wind blows my carport at 3am before sun Onto my house and electrical wire Fire department comes to help and prevent a fire So, here I am with writers block and lack of sleep I think I need a leap of faith, a big leap!

I couldn't help but laugh at the many unfortunate mishaps that befell the person in this poem, Heidi. I feel a twinge of guilt over that. But this is a delightful poem, and the last line is a most beautiful line. A true gem, this poem is. Love and peace to you.

Thanks Freddie - It was me, one of those phases, things all happening at once! Laughter is the way to get through at times! So that is just fine :)

For having writer's block you wrote a fantastic poem. The sign of true talent. I hope things start going better for you. Sometimes the days that require a big leap of faith are the days that help us reach our true potential and show us how much good there really is in our lives. <3

That sounds terrible, not your poem, you're predicament...what else can go wrong. Wow Heidi, I'm so sorry about all of that. I hope your smile finds you again real soon.

Thanks Chris. Just figured I would write whatever I could to try to get out of writers block while managing many other things. I am getting by, thanks. :)
