Oh Overload, Oh Overload

entry picture

I do, I have a problem

A problem I do dread

I seem to get in overload

Loadover in my head

 

I just begin a line of verse

And into this one start...

 

(The girl stood on the burning deck

She did look like a tart -

(work in progress)

 

You see my jolly problem, I'm

An overloaded cart

 

Oh overload oh overload

What will become of me ?

Will I be relegated to

The grave of poetry?

 

(Don Matthews Poet in Training July 2017)

Oh I do this like
This rhymic banter-gay
Between two intellectuals
10,000 miles away

Off-rhyme. Going round the site before joining I felt I could feel safe in your community. You will be aware I'm bipolar - intense emotions, intense drive. I also have different/offbeat/unconventional ideas. A safe environment like WOL is vital if I am to to survive and grow.

To avoid blowing a fuse I pull out weeds and listen to headphone-blues ?

Going off on a tangent, more like. But...
Never fear, we are here, to line up and excuse
The chance that you may look askance
And risk blowing your fuse!

Thankyou for thinking I won't suffer graveyard relegation. Keep telling my mind to slow down but it won't listen

I doubt that you will face relegation Matthew. I think all of us suffer with this condition at some point in our lives. I am constantly reading shop fitters as shop lifters for some unaccountable reason.
Nice one
