Something soupy
A dollop of droopy
That’s what describes my day
Something failed
An idea derailed
Things aren’t going my way
A harrowing mess
Oh the distress
If only I could just start over
But the time it would take
Oh what a mistake
Trying to keep my composure
Can any of you relate
By these feelings of frustrate
Ever feel like burying your head?
Why do we even begin
Bearing an idea within
When we could’ve stayed in bed

Her Writing Haven 
A fun interlude from what sounds a frustrating time. Don’t sweat it girl. Mercury retrograde is snafuing many of us. It will be over in another week. 🙂 ❤

Thank you, Debby… I tried replying to your comment the other day but it wouldn’t go through. I was working on a book sculpture that wasn’t going so well when I wrote this, but it turned out just as I hoped it would.

Well that is good news. But about the comments, I’m sorry. I am having the same problem on so many blogs. I’ve found I’ve had to log out and log back into WP in the comment section in order for a comment to go through. Just make sure you copy your comment so you can paste it back once relogging in. I hope that helps. 🙂

Yeah, I always forget to copy it and then it’s gone for good. And of course a comment written a second time I’d never worded as well as the first. lol…

Exactly. You can always use daily drama in poetry just like the old poets did back in the day 😁

Haha. I like your sense of humor. No, I am old. From what I can tell you look like a spring chicken. Unless it’s your granddaughter’s picture? 🙃

Michelle, staying in bed on a cold day is appealing, but sometimes you have to fail first to succeed. How many poems, stories, songs, et al have been tweaked or overhauled to find the perfect version?
I have longed believed the unpublished book found in Harper Lee’s files after she died that became “Go set the watchman” was an earlier attempt that she set aside, then wrote “To Kill a Mockingbird.”
The book that was published after she died was a not nearly as good as the one that won her the Pulitzer Prize and Gregory Peck an Oscar as Atticus Finch.

That’s so true Keith, and this is a great example. I’m not giving up even if it means I have to rethink my process. Baby steps I suppose. 🙂
