I'm totally discombobulated,
Disconcerted and confused.
Nothing strikes me funny,
And I cannot be amused.

My thoughts swim in a quagmire,
I'm stressed and cannot cope.
I'm reaching out and grabbing on
To that knot at end of rope!

Linda, it may just be poetry, but I have days like this often!

Discombobulated ... One of my absolute favorite words. You use it well.

Huggles and Grins, Marti

What a co-winkydink! It's one of my favourite words as well! I do have my space cadet, stressed out moments! As for today?--so far, so good! LOL  

Luvvums,
Linda

EA,

I just took the girls to the Doc for school check-ups.  We waited for 2 hours before he saw them.  The four year old had to have blood work.  I had to fight rush hour traffic, 45 minutes home.  Hmmm. I would tell you I am discombobulated (but I am not sure I can spell it without looking back at your poem!) LOL...  Guess I will just have to cry in my coffee.

Love this!  Chelsea did too.

Pat ~

Yep! You certainly earned your discombobulation today!

That knot at the end of the rope can get pretty slippery with all that nervous perspiration!

Loves 'n hugs to you, Chelsea & Macy!
--and an extra hug for Macy for being a brave little girl getting her needle!

Way to put into words how 95% of people are feeling these days...that was awesome.

Another dream that will never come true just to compliment your sorrow.....Disturbed

If you need to stand on my shoulders to get enough slack for a good knot, just let me know... I'll be glad to help. *G*

You knew I couldn't resist this title... right? LOL

Your name cracked me up! I love it! Shows you have a sense of humor! LOL

Yep! These certainly are discombobulating times--and there aren't enough ropes to go around!--for tying knots to hang onto, that is!!!

Warm welcoming hugs,

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Linda, this is very heartfelt, sweet friend, I have been feeling like this too much recently and my music I've been writing too expresses much of these iridescence! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is touching, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Sorry to hear that you have been feeling discombobulated! I'll make a new batch of my special discombobulation antidote and we can both take a sip or two of it!

Noah ~

It appears that I have hit a strident chord with this poem! Sorry to hear that you have been a bit down as of late. I had noticed that your poetry and songs have been a bit heavier than usual---but brilliant just the same!  

Huggums,
EA
