From behind
crow caws and caws,
dark horizon
Phone call,
check’s not in the mail,
oh shit...

Originals are better than remakes.
About Me
- Pat Paulk
- 2009! 57 years ago in April I was a 2# squealing baby boy. Got a wonderful tan in an incubator. Made friends with plastic tubing, needles and tape. All of which I have zero recollection. I've been well watered and fertilized over the years, and grown quite ripe. Plastic tubing, needles and tape are catalysts for flashbacks without the buzz. Enjoy!

That last line, while not in traditional poetic language,
is most appropriately expressed...
well-said Pat...
the second one --- I've been there SO many times! :)
Well, I'm sorry to hear that Pat! Told almost without suspense!:)
two sides of life
Vivian, I wrestled with that a little, but thought exactly that. There is no better way to express it, even if it is way over used.
Thanks Amalendu!! More piddling with words, than writing poetry I think.
Andrew, a fact of life for most of us sometime.
Borut, no suspense in that.
Floots, that's true. Now, if I can only find that other side.
who is cawing now?
:o)
I chuckled at the ending!
ha! made me laugh
I enjoyed this!
pat, you never cease to amaze!
nice venture into senryu :)
You got the feel!
I know the feeling very well!
Been there and done that!
Nice poem evoking unfortunate memories, and reminding me that often work is not the better part of what we do...
