Starship

Its all been a bit hectic getting back into office work mode this week and my muddled old brain has reflected on my poetry subjects. Too much to do, places to go, people to meet, working trying to keep up my sports training and still a 93 year old waiting at home for attention with blissfully, not a clue about the real world.

Starship Captain 

Thoughts pass through my head

At the speed of the Starship Enterprise

Ideas and life theories speed on through

Some are useful, some ill advised

Planet by star, link by twinkling link

As though to intergalactic travel

Meteors almost brush in a light year

Throwing debris clouds of space litter gravel

Hiding whatever it is I fear

As deeper into deep space thought I sink

Hurtling through what life throws at me

Where my head goes as jumbled thought I think

 

Nightmare 

It sometimes feels as if the walls are moving in

Increasing restrictions, struggling for air

Time evaporating, the endless chore list

Are these thoughts imaginary or really there

 

One of Those days  

It’s been one of those days

You know the kind

Running around in a circle

Plays havoc with the mind

There are a thousand ways

To try to work a miracle

An average woman cannot find

Time to get the whole list done

The eyes begin to glaze

Work away and nothing won

Making calls and answering the phone

Writing down a note

Wish there was a chilling zone

That would get my vote
