Notes About The Poem

Unwanted Things

Unwanted Things.

A car wreck.
A kid, unexpected.
An absent father to be.
 
A cheater that brought you, 
a sudden health risk. 
A divorce.

Car troubles.
Work issues.
Financial burdens. 
Bad health, 
that effects you, 
and…
or…
those you love.

These are a few, 
of my un-favorite
things.
There is no song, 
about these, 
by Julie…
although I read her story, 
and she
had a hard life
too.

Hello Ann … You had me thinking my own 'unwanted things' from my past and sure enough, your verse has a lot of me in it, but I guess life is a bit like a rollercoaster ride. Thank you Ann - Lindsay

Ty so kindly. Just melancholy today. It will pass. Need to work on holiday poems and change the fabric of the day. Have such a nice afternoon. Flowers and bright bugs that sing... humming happy... Ann

Ann, Feeling it from these 'Unwanted Things' in your poem. Entangled photograph in black & white. Where could this be(?) Surely not Julie's mountain top in song. -Richard
