Waiting For The Other Shoe To Drop Poem by Linda Ori

Linda, this is a beautiful poem. I hope the shoe does dropp and everything goes right with the world. Keep them coming. Peace.

Primary questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going? I guess it's the journey Linda, and you're travelling well...

the eternal Questions.... Good one~

Hello, Linda...Lovely, poetry with feeling! You have put lovely poetry to what I have been feeling. Thank you. A ten for you!

'Spinning out of sync...' A very telling line. As soon as you start to question, everything seems to be possible - rightly or wrongly. But, better that by far than just holding ground in that unthinking 'holding pattern' that so many opt for in the pursuit of comfort or safety or both. I don't think you're that kind of woman Linda. The existential questions are meat and drink to you. Maybe sometimes they get a bit stressful though! Very thought provoking and poetic deliberations. x jim

Linda, great poem! Sometimes it's easier to just maintain the status quo. I love how the subject's own perceptions change at the end. Funny how our view of the world can be altered based on our own change in attitude. Really well done! ! Brian

Ditto Jerry. You have a strong questioning tone as a writer, which I find fascinating. Well done.

Beautiful rythm and well structured like this a lot.

Linda, don't bother waiting. Pull the shoe off yourself, socks and all, and go wiggle your toes in a muddy puddle. And no climbing ropes or letting go, untill you've had a good old swing! Danny (10 by the way)
