...Final exam day... Another lay-off...
Sexual tension...Tea kettle whistles...
Wet, crying babies... Heartbreak repeated...
Gymnasium grunts... Ambulance sirens...
Insufficient funds... Needle on empty...
Almost orgasm... Some good, some not so...
Steam under the hood.
Help yourself to a five-syllable line or two.
My brain is refusing to count to seven today.
8:43 pm, Finally...
Dreams untended, hearts
unmended, quiver to come
to life. Realize.

Pressure-
Tonight- ten o'clock
five syllables and seven
then five more, are due...
excellent, Scott! I hope you enter that.
Chick stuff, that won't do.
Making silly ryhmes, but not.
Nope, not gonna play.
Dick, you're a booger ;-)
Pressure I give up
Broken knuckles sane carnage
Release is relief
Mark, wise man, you are.
That hits the theme spot perfectly. It is annoyingly accurate! I say that not as a disservice to you. It is due to the task and your talent. Some topics, done right, have to be annoying.
I can still remember waking up in the middle of the night knowing I missed doing something important or knowing my final is tomorrow. That rush of urgency is right there. Something inside jerks me to consciousness, and then I am alit with the fires of doubt, dread, and worry. Annoying! :)
"Dreams untended, hearts
unmended, quiver to come
to life. Realize."
Dreams and hearts alike
like gardens require tending too
else they wither, die
I'll vote for you.
Doom - wow...hit the nail on the head for you, didn't it? Yay! *g*
Larry - yours is beautiful!
(thank you for your vote, dear.)
