Comment from Dean Kuch
In some circles we call what you've described so very well in your poem as, Running around like a chicken with it's head chopped off. Ya know, in times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers, Linda. In our daily lives, it's important to remember that peace is simply retraining our minds to process life as it is, rather than as we think it should be. If...IF...we can do that, then all of that running around you mentioned seems a little more worthwhile.
Great poem, Linda, and much food for thought...~Dean :}

Thank you for reading, Dean, and for sharing your thoughts on the subject of ANXIETY! I have to learn to take the emotion out of any crisis, take it down to the bare bones, simplist form, then decide the best plan to fix the problem. Retraining myself. Linda

I go through a training regimen every single day of my life, my friend. Just don't sweat the small stuff, and the bigger things will take care of themselves in time. That's been my experience anyhow.

Yes sometimes we are too caught up with the act of busyness, getting things done that we forget to live life fully. I believe we all go through this, as we get older, and we never learn I guess. The art work complements the message of your poem.

Comment from Green_Jello
Oh the dreaded feeling of anxiety. You describe it well when you say it is like saran wrap that clings and tightens. But what is the point of worry when all it does is make things worse! I really enjoyed your poem because I can definitely relate to it.
Great job and thank you for sharing!

Yes, we all need to stop and smell the roses. Hurry, hurry for what--to get further behind. I enjoyed your poem. The picture is perfect. Good job on the format. I like the reference to Saran Wrap.
Good job. No changes. Thanks for sharing.

A case for calm down and carry on I would say. I like the way you have built the feeling of increasing tension into the poem by shortening the lines and increasing the instances of rhyme without ever letting it become a regular scheme. Very cleverly done.

Great portrayal of a common human experience. I like the concrete examples of human behavior and thought associated with an anxious state. Keep writing.

It really does feel like we are running and rushing somewhere and have no time to the niceties of life. You have captured the feeling of hurry well in your choice of words, with some rhyming and most fitting illustration. Faye

Excellent Poem! The poem is descriptive, creative and thought provoking. The reader reflecting on her own times of anxieties.
The artwork is perfect and compliments the poem.
