over my head

here I keep going

You were
A breath of fresh
air on a warm day

You were
poetry and magic
someone to rescue me.

You were
softness and light
sweet night's love.

You are
The black stuff
on a burnt pot.

You are
the dog doo
that sticks to my shoe
 
You are
a knot in the pit of my stomach
that just won't go away

You are
about to be my yesterday
trying to insinuate in my today.

Damn KL...the temperature sure changed quickly in this poetic work. I smiled, I frowned and then I smiled again. Very cool.

"the dog doo that sticks to my shoe" Do you know how hard it is to get that stuff off?

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, I am applying the scrub brush and the water as we speak.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

really like the last stanza...."yesterday/ trying to insinuate into today"

very cool line...and yes, what seems so good can really fool us...

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks much, I was not liking this one -- apparently I was a little hard on it.

Dog Doo that sticks to a shoe. There's nothing quite as abhorrent as that except maybe a d********g that comes up to your door with a handful of it yelling "look what I almost stepped in! " Ha!

As sharp as ever KL!

[Lyn Anderson]

I kind of did not dig this one at all when I put it up. What did I know?

[redflutterby]

Ha.....once they were everything but now you can't stand anything about them. Yes I have felt just that way!! Great poem Kl!!

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks I appreciate that.

[Frieda P]

Oh god, this is perfect, it's amazing how someone we adored and cherished at one time can become the bane of our existence!

[Lyn Anderson]

Kind of weird, as I told others, I didn't really dig this one. I was kind of just splashing it on the page in a fit of anger.
