A Moment is a moment Some times I sit a fence, of doldrums sense Comparing the immense of world’s despair Making pretense faces of mock suspense Yet feeling nothing, nor do I care. I watch the rank and stay in blank. Ease and outflank the botch of be There’s nothing new in nothings bank But smell the water, air and sea. There is nothing like a doldrums bind It’s here I avoid the witness stand. There is no justice to seek or find I just float upon some timeless sand. A moment is a moment true For some will say the doldrums bend But l insist it is a coup Naught happens, where there’s no vend and While waiting till the doldrums die I offer you this butterfly. |

I read somewhere can't remember where, that every moment is a poem yet to be written. This reminded me of that. I like this poem very, very much. Kathleen (Kay) |

Martie, I think we all have been there one time or another. *L* JM, Your butterfly rapsody has made a cone of cotton candy and my Randy just sits and stuffs himself. He has eaten himself into the doldrums. LOL Winkiewinkie PoetriPrincess, Could I ask for anything more? Ghost, A big thank you. |

There is nothing like a doldrums bind Isn't that the truth? *S* Stymied by the blues, bested by the down-and-out's. *S* I love this melancholy beauty, Seymour... well done! |
