This has your usual brilliance. I enjoy reading your work. I liked this line I could locate a locksmith.
I could search for the key.

Very nice rhyming poem with an encouraging message. I think ideas come best when you revel in reverie (which is a very nice alliteration)rather than force thoughts. Another outstanding poem,
Eric

I'm sure a few hours rocking on that old porch will clear your problem right up. This is very nice. We all need a break every once in a while?even from our thoughts.

Thanks for using my artwork to illustrate this lovely poem.

    Your artwork is fantastic - it surely adds to a poem - thank you!!! Glad you like the poem - that must suck if somebody writes something awful and uses your art. LOLOL Brooke

Short quick read. It fits the picture well also. The picture of the rockers does not lure me to that place. I've miles to go before I sleep or TAKE IT EASY. Well penned, thanks for sharing.Cheers, Don

    Don, Type A personalities need not apply for the rocker next to mine. LOL Thanks, Brooke :-)

I so totally understand what you have said here. I too have had days like that. I turn into a most happy vegetable on those occasions.

This one had a very laid back calming effect. Maybe it was the picture. I like the poems that allow one's mind to relocate a bit. Content in the here and now, sometimes very hard to achieve.

If you find the key, please look and see if mine is there too. I have been in a mind slump the last days and haven't felt like doing a thing. I enjoyed this one a lot.

    Oh, the dreaded mind slump - I know it well! I will send the key over if I find one :-) Thanks so much, Brooke

A whimsical poem about relaxing - and not worrying about doing anything in particular. Her thoughts are all mixed up - probably too much on her mind and not knowing exactly where to start with this overload of work. She thinks of some logical ways of getting herself out of this dilemma, but in the end decides - why bother? I'll doing nothing instead. Relax and take time out.
Rhyme and rhythm are regular and unforced - helping the poem to flow along free of all cares.

Hi Brooke,
Your choice of art is perfect for your poem. I love the simple, solitude that your words offer. With bad weather, school being out and two grandchildren living with me, there isn't the opportunity for such a pleasant reverie. Your rhyme and flow are perfect and the meaning clear. Good job. Thank you for sharing and God bless and best wishes!

Is it not relaxing just to let your mind just wonder with no real direction from time to time. I enjoyed your little poem here.

Thank You My Friend,

Knowledge
