I can relate to your poem and how life just seems to keep sailing along. It feels very honest and real, like a friend is sharing their day. It is lighthearted and fun.

Everyone or most are going through the same thing
Unless they are fortune have no where to go, or things to do
Your the lucky ones

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
What a great poem to express the crazy journey of trying to find the time to write each day. "no life raft, help, I'm drowning," is a perfect line to write. I bet so many others can relate to this feeling, too.

Comment from lyenochka
We're all rather feeling that way as it seems quite a challenge to keep posting a poem a day. (Not for some, but for me anyway!) Glad that you were able to express that feeling of pressure and falling behind which I relate to!

Hi Meeshu, Thank you and one must have some drama LOL I am a little behind bit will complete this challenge on time with 30 poems I never lnow what I will write until ai start so anything may show up Ypur support is very much appreciated Cheers Christine
-
my favorite part of writing is finding out how my stuff is going to end. sounds like you're the same.......meeshu
-
Yes Exactly I love it because I just start with a line or two and then the rest just appears. I think that is the exciting part. maybe most poets feel the same I never plan any of my poems and only take a few minutes to write them once I start. Cheers Christine
Comment from Susan B. Lamphier
Christine--I hear you, sister! This poetry challenge is HARD! I find it difficult to write a poem every day. To me, it's coming up with a topic. Look at you! You came up with the ultimate, whatamIgonnawritenow? topic. Excellent!

Nice one. I really enjoyed reading your poem and can certainly relate to it. Life sure does get in the way but the satisfaction of creating something good is worth the effort. Jen

Hi Dolly, thanks so much but sometimes I write on the hop once a sentence comes into my head I love to finish it and Sometimes I just write in noise and all but a quiet time is nice to be able to think. A poem a day is a fun challenge I am not to far behind LOL Cheers Christine
Comment from Gloria ....
Very nicely written Christine. You've expressed in succinct terms the determination needed to stay in the game.
Starting with a form is the best way to keep the pace. Glad to see you getting your second wind with this delightful post.

Wow! I am honored that you used my painting for your poem and book. Writing poetry is definitely an art form. I enjoyed reading your poem. I'm sure writing like myself painting and drawing is an outlet for your creativity. Thank you again for choosing my painting for I am truly honored!

Hi Artsgalhead. No Thank you as soon as I found it I knew this was the one to use so I am honoured to you for a lovely art work Yes Writing and painting is an art and I can't sew or so fine needlework so have to use my brain Ha Ha Many Cheers to you Christine

Hello Chrissy710. Perhaps we can do a collaboration. I can do some drawings/painting for your book for a small fee. I am trying to branch out there as an artist. If you already have an artist then that is okay as well; just let me know.
