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!

Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 11/25/2016 4:08:00 PM 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.

So that is just fine :)

Heidi Sands Date: 11/23/2016 12:41:00 PM 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. :)
