feeling jittery and jumpy

perhaps a bit tense

twitchy and edgy

till nothing makes sense!

muscles are tight

perhaps even taut

what sort of affliction

is this thing that i"ve caught?

everything annoys me

i'm bothered way too much

i'm bringing darkness

to everything i touch!

not sure what i need

but it's something for sure

perhaps something as simple

as a brand new coiffure!

do you know the solution?

is there a remedy?

if so send it now

and make sure it's quickly!

an appointment with your coiffurist and a nail job might be the ticket luv! what a delightful poem .. easy flow and love the rhyming .. just the right touch of it says i! I have kind of felt that way most of the week ... off center with no wisdom to crack me out of it ... its a disturbing place to be ... fears and doubts can creep in through the seems ... its part of our cycles is what i have decided .. and found that letting it be .. not trying to "kick it out" or meditate it away somehow .. just acknowledging it ... being and observer of it .. it kind of burns itself out and i know i'll be centered once again .. part of me cycle i guess ... great artwork to accompany "rhyming nonsense" together they make all the sense in the world.

Thanks so much, E....rhyming like this brings me to a good place. I find that rhyming is fun poetry. I appreciate your in depth review! Lydi**

Fun poem Lydi**. I don't know a remedy that works , but I quite fancy a makeover. Hair and nails might just work for me at the moment. I haven't been to a hairdresser for two years. That's covid for you. Time to get back to some normalcy. Love the artwork.

The last two years have been such difficult ones. Many of my friends have stopped coloring their hair and are now gray. Many have stopped getting manicures. Perhaps it seems shallow to long for these things, but I believe the world is upside down because of Covid. Thank you for your review, Chris. Lydi**

This was a fun piece to read and brought a smile to my face because without a doubt in these times of plague we are all feeling the words of this poem. Thank you Lydia for sharing your art with us.

Thanks, Carlos. Yes, the last two years have been rough for everyone. Lydi**
