Dead On My Feet Poem by Shaun Cronick

Dead On My Feet

Rating: 5.0


Has one tried writing a poem,
After work's long demanding day.
Its words struggle to flow,
With typo's getting in the way.

Eventually a new poem revealed,
Poetry so grammatically neat.
A fluke that I can still spell,
After being dead on my feet.

Writing a poem after work's long demanding day is hard. The mind sometimes does not want to cooperate. It is better to rest for a while. However, there are times also that after work, you are fueled to write as a brief respite from a tiring day. A beautiful poem well expressed.

Lodigiana thanks for your comment and it's good to know I'm not the only solitary soul. That's life and onwards and upwards, unless you're climbing the South Face of the Matterhorn...then s o d that. Thanks again and I wish you well. Shaun.x.

Dominic thanks for your comment and early lockdown did help, sort of ish. It for me was too much time and I had to pull away for fear of burning out. The poetry hamster eternally on the poetry wheel and all that. Then I discovered s e x, drugs and rock and roll. Thanks again and take care.

I know that feeling. Although, during the prolonged lockdown period, writing poetry provided me with something positive to do. Nevertheless, since I'm now starting to write less poetry, I now feel a lot better. Sometimes less is definitely more. Anyway, I digress. It's a dead on one's feet, but never defeated inspired five from me!
