    A Serious Problem

    As his left hand went up,
    Simultaneously so did mine.
    As his right hand went down,
    My right just fell in line.
    As he alternated both hands rhythmically,
    I began to dance.
    As he moved both hands slowly up and down,
    I walked lazily as if entranced.
    As he jerked his hands upward,
    I suddenly kissed the sky.
    As he refrained from all movement,
    I froze-- didn't move, didn't try.

    In this moment of lifelessness
    I became distraught thinking on things.
    Then I realized there was a serious problem,
    People don't have strings?

    You really know how to how to put some bite in your observations, and that's a good thing. Forgive me if I'm being presumptuous but, to me, "A Serious Problem" reads like a message you've written to yourself. In any case, it's a memo all who read it would do well to heed. This is a real 10!

    People don't have strings; but they're always being pulled. People don't have buttons; but they're always being pushed? So who is there to blame, once "A Serious Problem" occurs? No one's ever on our first. It's always our last nerves.

    I truly appreciate all of your comments and support. It means alot to me!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
