This is an interesting poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. This is yet another fascinating photo that the author has depicted here and the poem adds to the suspense.

Your poem is well written with an excellent theme. The picture used enhances it. Hurry is the culprit for many accidents when a person has to do something that requires concentration. Hurry sometimes do not get you anywhere it only slows you down.

I keep my "to-do" lists very short so I can feel successful. I like the Chinese slogan, "fewer, but better." Of course, they meant children but one can certainly apply it to anything not meant to be overdone. Sometimes you have to take Life by the horns and bring it under control!

Excellent poem. I enjoyed reading your writing.
awake each morning
with aware of anxiety
kind of wave that surfers desire
But boat captains embrace
for the terror

a Very timely message for the time that we waste worrying about things that we cannot nor should we even try to change. To quote an old time worn cliche, it is what it is, deal with it and move on. Above all else, time that has passed is just that, in the past, if you did not take the time to enjoy any of it, that is your loss and you are a fool for letting it get away from you. You cannot go back and try to redo it, but you can try to make up for it in future, it is entirely up to you.

Some can ride that wave, but I for one sure do not enjoy it. Anxiety, its effects you show to great effect with the humorous line " let out the cat (Don't have a cat)". Yes, the mind races. Excellent poem.

The art work is really great for these words
Anxiety is a horrible word, a horrible feeling
within us when we are anxious can be very hard
to get rid of.
Yes we can worry a lot over nothing.

There she is! So good to hear from you. Yes, I've had a few bad weeks. My energy level dropped significantly (it does that - up and down, up and down), was sluggish and did nothing. Missed some church, Spiritual Spritzer groups, got nothing done inside or outside my little tin house. I'm up at 6:20 a.m. (is that really a time . . .?) this morning and beginning to house clean already. Had a little confrontation with my middle daughter, Toni, the one in Michigan with whom I rarely speak. We attempted to patch up our relationship and did well for about 15 minutes then it all fell apart. She hit an anger point with me and I blew up. At least I got some stuff off my chest. However, it didn't help the situation at all and now, her daughter Tayler, is upset with me. Then I find out that two of my friends from church, a married couple, Kat and Pam, are leaving our church. Our church is in transition, waiting for a new pastor but we have a fantastic interim pastor, Rev. Kathy and we have a nice service every Sunday. I guess they are feeling the church is stagnant right now and Pam, who sings in the choir, has some major issues with the choir director, and have decided to take a long vacation from our church while exploring other options. They were my Sunday ride and choir rehearsal night ride. I'm seeking alternative rides, have a few to choose from but that basket is getting smaller . . .THEN . . . my next door neighbors had to cut down their palm tree which was my view from the computer room and I love palm trees. When they did, they found two bee hives and about a billion ants; large black ones and red ones who had condominiums in that palm tree. Guess where all these ants are vacationing??? I've found only one bee and it was dead. On the bright side, I have been able to do a little work outside. Keeping the patio area swept, bought one colorful Adirondack (sp?) chair and two plants, put the one plant I already had into the ground and have the patio "fenced in" with stones/bricks/pieces of concrete dug out of the other side of my yard. In the front where the ugly, rusty yoke forms a triangle, I filled the triangle with topsoil from the back yard and Michael dug up a mature plant from the yard where they are rehabbing a trailer and I planted that. It is sloooooooowwwwwly beginning to look nice. I go outside and work for five minutes then have to rest for 15 minutes and take a nitro . . . such a slow process doing anything. By 2 p.m. I am useless for the rest of the day!
I'm writing a book here!! Thank you for reading my minor etchings about life . . .Linda, Too

OMG Dos, I'm laughing and crying...I am so sorry about your friends leaving the church...I hope they decide to come back...and just move at your own pace...I'm slowing down in my old age...I think my brain and my body are in a race to see which one will stop first...LOL...and so sorry about your neighbors palm tree...but you get new critter friends...and some times they are better then people...LOL...and I didn't know there was a six am...LOL...I am so sorry about Toni...but Tayler will figure it out by herself...give her time...I am so glad Michael is helping you out...it helps...it was good to hear from you as always...and can't wait to see you...now rest sweet friend...and I love reading you...big hugs...love Linda xxoo

Linda;
-you did an extremely excellent job at expressing and vividly describing all the attributes of a person with anxiety. "Making a list/Checking it thrice/What to do first/was it done right". I particularly use this line because I'm at fault of doing this same type of attribute. That's Wright's always good to read a book or to meditate.
-Use very good use of enjambment which is the running on of a thought and concepts one stanza and line to the next without a syntactical break.
-Excellent cadence, timing and tempo to make the reading clear, fluid and easy.
-The picture that you've chosen is outstanding and represents, is relative and complementary to the poem.
-Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always Linda.

Free verse with a little mix of rhyme to hold together a variety of thoughts about anxiety ranging from storm waves to Saran wrap. Personally I don't like the wrap at all. The only thing I worry about is getting my next poem written and posted on time. Enjoyed this tribute to anxiety so well written.
