Tongue Tied

It must be terrible… to be tied up in knots, what if it clots... how could one complain? Such a terrible shame, I can't help you loosen it... not even a little bit, maybe, just cut the cord? and let that be the end of it.

Dear Kate, What a delightfully playful twist on the familiar phrase! The scenes of being all tied up in knots, unable to complain, is both humorous and thought-provoking. I love how you deftly employ wordplay to explore the metaphorical bind. This whimsical piece showcases your deft way with language and imagination. Bravo for this fun, insightful gem! - Blessings My Friend, Daniel

An interesting poem on the condition of tongue tied. Thank you for this poem. Golden words are often unspoken.

Nicely written. Sometimes, I guess that is all one can do is to cut the cord and get free of it.
