I'm Good At Feeling The Blues Poem by Richard Wlodarski

I'm Good At Feeling The Blues

Rating: 5.0


I'm good at waking up
Feeling the morning blues
Sleeping in so damn late
Until morning is gone

I'm good at dragging my ass
All through Tuesday afternoon
Can't remember Monday night
Memory's a little light

I'm good at wasting Wednesday
Half busted at working man's blues
Slouched on that damn couch
Waiting for that touch

I'm good at feeling the blues
Loneliness of life touched by hues
My colour blindness now sighting me
To God's oneness of humanity

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Although this poem is intended as a parody, I actually know people who have chosen to live this lifestyle. As an optimist, I see their potential. In some cases, huge potential! So, I'm not giving up on them. In fact, I'm going to give them copies of this poem. I know that most of them will laugh. Some may even cry. And I believe that one or two will be positively influenced. Maybe even do something constructive with their lives.

Well to me as you said I take this way, not a parody but a true scene of many people thus I may not laughed insanely just some smiles... We sometimes are just to busy with life and we tried to cure empty time without beibg restless, abused by the feeling of many flavors.. I do love the way you write and the contents.. Thanks, n I do feel this sometimes.

Soul, sometimes it's good to laugh at our little idiosyncrasies. But I see far too many people just wasting their lives. Just biding their time. Such a waste! I hope I can get through to them. Thank you for your insights and kind words.
