Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.

Breaking news
Here’s the latest, history repeats itself
That flash was your life
passing you by
Or maybe it was a bus,
you wouldn’t know
Maybe get off your phone
And pay attention
I was uptight
That was alright
I had a job to do
And you knew it too
You gave me the task
Now have nerve to ask
Is that all you got
I'm afraid not
I'm a frayed knot
Deaf Jimmy Walker Quote:
I have a lot of stories to YELL because I’ve been down a lot of loud roads people haven’t been.
Your parents didn’t beat you as a child?
So how old were you
when you finally realised
the people who say they love you
hurt you the most?
Haiku: kill or be killed
surrounded by threat
killer bee in a sandstorm
the sting never lands
Weekly Theme:
Unfinished Work
I’ve rummaged through previously unfinished work with fresh eyes in an attempt to clear the clutter.
How many politicians have shot themselves in the foot because they shot off their mouths?

I don’t have the data on that but I know a few of the recent politicians had trouble speaking because they constantly had a foot in their mouths.

That little poem about the phone is perfection! My grown sons have a nasty habit of bringing theirs to the table during meals. After being fixed with a withering stare they go back into pockets…..

It is a problem I have. solely because I do all my writing on my phone.
Not looking forward to my kids having phones. My oldest is bad enough when he gets his hands on mine.

I like all of these but my favourite is the mobile phone. I’ve got a bee in my bonnet about the damn things.

I had a feeling it would strike a cord. I wrote it after watching someone fall over then continue to use the phone while still on the icy ground.

That’s the magic of poetry. The poet may have intent – or not…or forget…but the reader will translate it uniquely, regardless 🙂
