Oh, here she comes again and she's wearing that face, the one she always wears for the one who got away. She's pining for Mr, Right (or should I say, Mr. Wrong) and I know, without a doubt, she'll be singing that same old song. Or maybe she has written another poem on her single issue, something from her heart, that might require a box of tissue. Perhaps I should just shout through the door that I have been quarantined and spare myself the ordeal of conversation... if you know what I mean.

Ida, you've quite the wit... and sometimes, we do what we do because it's all we know. But thank goodness for spitfires!   |

Yo dear Ida, I bet she's not near as bad as you make her out to be. Love Bobby |

Thank you all for commenting. Actually this poem is about a neighbor I remember from my childhood. Her loser boyfriend left her for someone else and she was always looking for a shoulder to cry on. She could clear my house faster than a heat seeking missile. When she showed up everybody disappeared leaving my Mom to deal with the drama and bad poetry. Oh, and Bobby, I never thought of this women as bad, just boring and not someone I could ever understand. Ida |

Oh, Ida, I know what you mean! But then I also know that you are a compassionate soul and will "go through the ordeal" ... you are her audience, she needs you. You may look at it as a volontary service ... and that, you know, is always rewarding. Great write. Love, Margherita  |

Actually, Margherita I was pretty young and didn't go through the ordeal. My Dad and all of us kids cleared out and and let my Mom go through the ordeal. I really do think of myself as a very compassionate person when it comes to real problems like illness or someone or something being mistreated. In a case like this, probably not so much. Ida |

Dear Ida don't be to hard on the poor soul, The fact that she has picked you out as a friend, on who to unburden her problems, means that she thinks you are a kind and compassionate friend, on whose friendship she appreciates. We all have faults my dear, some perhaps worse than others, so give her a smile and an attentitive ear and you will feel better for it. Love to you dear lady. Lindsay |

Come on, gentle friends, There has to be an easier, more useful way of earning one's stripes. Perhaps I have done a bit too much explanation of the situation. I don't seem to be connecting. I kind of wrote this from my mother's point of view since the rest of the family usually made our escape. Ida [This message has been edited by Marchmadness (06-20-2009 11:32 PM).] |

This is funny. Nobody likes to see somebody in pain, but it's embarassing to see someone caricaturize themself. |

My dear Ida Belle, I always get a kick out of reading about your slices of life. They're so real and vivid ~ and honest. Frank and charming at the same time!  Love 'n a hug, Linda |

Okay, I had to laugh too - I wanted to say, "Poor Ida. You are explaining, but no one is listening!" I really liked this poem because it does remind me of people I have known and - yes - people my mother has befriended that we would all hide from I can't believe that I missed this one until yesterday.

I barricade myself from others from time to time - as I listen and then move on. Ida's dwelling and pulling others into her machine - cartwheeling her song. I liked the humour in this - Misfortune has its fool! HAZARD |
