Ilene Bauer Poet Limerick

Out of Sorts

I feel out of sorts and don’t lie
When I say that I can’t explain why,
Or rather I could
But nobody would
Make sense of it, though they might try.

I have some decisions to make,
Though nothing important’s at stake.
Yet, still I am stuck
And not having much luck;
Fear of change is a trait I can’t shake.

Such an anxiousness often conceals 
Other issues, although it reveals
Things I cannot express 
That are causing me stress;
Lots of people know just how that feels.

Caren Krutsinger July 19, 2022 at 3:52 AM I have spoken to several close women friends who have been anxious and sad the last two weeks, and none of them know why. I told them they might be picking up on a "future" event. We are intuitive you know. I hope things get better, and the stress dissipates.

Rico Leffanta July 18, 2022 at 6:21 PM Everyone can decide between "this" and "that", so make the time to consider the choices only between this choice and that choice until you reach your best choice! Should be easy for someone with your skills! Aloha!

Janice Canerdy July 18, 2022 at 2:02 PM I have NEVER responded well to change--not even when I was young. Your poem is excellent--skillfully written and expressive, conveying a message that will resonate with MANY. Janice

L Milton Hankins July 18, 2022 at 12:52 PM Oh, Ilene, I think most of us secretly abhor change. But, you must agree, I find it inevitable. And the important thing following is adjusting. Sometimes that's harder.
