hyperventilation is a grim taskmaster frustration is its foreplay but you don't recognize it . . . there are no warnings no flashing bright lights that scream look out! look out! danger! danger! it creeps upon you like a deadly anaconda wrapping its coils around you slowly making it difficult to breathe much too late you realize you're suffocating as you are deep into the death throes you try to trace down this hyperventilation from whence it came an easy task it was there all along you knew it you just decided to look the other way meanwhile the anaconda keeps on constricting ©November 27, 2011 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ There is no evil angel but Love.—William Shakespeare. ~*~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (11-28-2011 09:22 AM).] |

You must be fine, as you have written about it with such vividness that I almost gasped and reached for air! Scary yes! Wishing you well in keeping the anaconda quiet! Love, Margherita |

There never is a paper bag around when you need one, Lori, besides, do they even still make the darn things. Thanks for the advice . . . <><> Hi, Margherita, sorry about that, thank you for your kindness in reading and commenting on my poems. ~*~ There is no evil angel but Love.—William Shakespeare. ~*~ |

"meanwhile the anaconda keeps on constricting" This is a great write, but a bad situation. Hope all is well. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |

Everything is good. Just had one of those "kind of days" when I wrote that. I'm good, JL, and thank you for commenting on the poem and asking about my well-being. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
