It's not worried. It's waiting.
It's not anxious. It's antsy.
Mild disturbances,
Little perturbances,
Agitation in cogitation,
Niggling nettles.
I got 'em.
I'm unsettled.
UPDATE: As I was checking email I found one from my cousin with a link to the music of Max Cohen. Some settling of Lime is occurring. Also, thanks to all of you who shared favorite poets and poems as well as a few sweet stories I so enjoyed them all.
is this poem about having diarrhea? because that's how i feel like on a long car ride when i have it.
ReplyDeletethis feeds like every moment of my life of late.
ReplyDeletepins and needles of the mind.... shake 'em out. at least there's a long weekend to recharge and regroup and simply relax ahead, wheeeeew.
ReplyDeleteWithout knowing what the 'niggling nettles' are, I'll just say that 'waiting' and 'antsy' aren't necessarily bad things. And 'unsettled' could be just getting ready for something new and interesting. Without knowing any details. . .
ReplyDeleteNice piece of poetry, too. . .
waiting to hear from Ed McMahon? when you hear the knock on the door, freshen up, your huge cardboard check for a million dollars may be on the other side!
ReplyDeleteps...i like your poem!
Go run around the block a few times, you'll be ok!
ReplyDelete:P

ReplyDeleteChug 2 Hard Ciders, and call me in the morning!
waiting can be agonizing and unsettled can be torturous...
ReplyDeletethat is why Peace is the greatest gift that makind can have...
You sure it's not just gas? I'm making jokes, 'cause I can't give you a hug. Consider all of our comments a hug, then. Better yet... consider them chocolate. Whatever the cause of your uneasiness, I pray that today the Lord turns your mourning (so to speak) to dancing.
ReplyDeletefuriousball, diarrhea on a long car ride would be utter torment.
ReplyDeletefadkog, arg, i feel your vexation.
shadow, pins and needles of the mind, what an excellent description!
desmond, agreed. the current nettles do hold potential for positive change
mary, dang! i'd better go shower and comb my hair!
s, i should probably do that too
gman, i've been tempted
mona, peace is indeed a gift
craver, you mean i could have solved all this with some mylanta??? thanks for the virtual hug, prayers and encouragement.
May the vex not be with you.
ReplyDeleteThough when I get that way a long hot bath helps.
And there's always Turtle Dove Thursday! Just sayin... ;)
Oh I hate that feeling of unsettlement... it's so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll find settling :)
I have to go do my taxes today... I feel ya :P
I hope you are feeling less anxious. You need a massage and a bubble bath.
ReplyDelete"Some settling of Lime is occurring."
ReplyDeleteIndeed. I'm working on that myself, of late.

Hmmm...sounds like me on most days...perfectly expressed....
ReplyDeleteSo thoughtful expressed and I follow you. Remember you find the best relaxation in the nature :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you and your family!
"Some settling of Lime is occurring."
ReplyDeleteWhy have I got a mental image of a swamp?
