Over and under.
Around and through.
Lightning and thunder.
A returning view.
It leaves and it strikes.
It goes with the breeze.
Like the riding of bikes.
Like the pesky fleas.
Back we go.
Back we come.
A new yet same show.
A new yet same chum.
Glum or glee.
Anger or cheer.
Blah to weee.
Delightful to hear.
Hear you will.
Times two or three.
A return to fill.
A wavering sea.
Back and forth.
Up and down.
The hills up north.
The tiny elf town.
Around and through.
Through and around.
Told that to you.
So shouldn't astound.
But it may.
But it will.
When a return display,
Fits the bill.
Think it is done.
Much the way of summer.
Gave it's final run.
Isn't that a bummer?
So many days.
So many weeks.
Around comes the maze.
Valleys and peaks.
Ever think you are rid of something yet it comes back? Sure can do that with many a thing at many a shack. Some insecurities like to shine back through. One just has to push on at their zoo. Did it before, can do it once more. Whether or not they come back, like summer will at most every shack. Things always come back in mass. In that you can trust my little rhyming ass.
Fill your rummer, get drunk all summer.

DeleteScrew you too

ReplyDeleteA new foe
DeleteUp early on the go
Dang not quick enough
ReplyDeleteGood job Hank
Now back to the thinking tank.
Betty
Good morning Betty
DeleteNice seeing your entry
Still a winner at 7
Welcome to the club we're even!
Hank
Winner and in
DeleteSure not a sin
That's the story of my life Pat. Thought I'd got rid of a problem but it soon returns. Wonderful poem a joy to read.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Can push it away
DeleteRid of it at least for a day
Yep think I am done with anxiety
ReplyDeleteBut then it comes back in a flash
Almost as if I had whiplash.
Betty
Hopefully the neck is okay
DeleteBut back it shall replay
Like a boomerang, they just keep coming back.
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteSome have better aim at one's zoo
And sometimes insecurities evaporate into thin air
ReplyDeleteOnly for a minute before they return with a flair
Evaporate and return
DeleteHot air never does learn
Your insecurities are pretty darn secure after all.
ReplyDeleteGood one!
DeleteSecure they be
DeleteGreat point from thee
look over the shoulder, but then look forward.
ReplyDeleteBack and in front
DeleteCan't let it stunt
Those insecurities like to come back
ReplyDeleteyou never know when they will attack
I’d like to give them a good whack
causing anxiety at many shacks
It’s like a ball bounced against a wall
always bouncing back at you
just need to catch it before it falls
Did that they other day
DeleteBounced it at a certain bay
Had nothing else to do
True, insecurities can bounce too
It's a battle we'll just always have to fight.
ReplyDeleteFight and keep going
DeleteWith each showing
All the things we despise the most
ReplyDeleteKeep returning as if we’re the host
Make themselves comfortable in a wink
Not giving a hoot what we think
Sure don't give a hoot
DeleteNo matter how many times we give them the boot
Returning issues/problems wear me out. I have better things to do. :)
ReplyDeleteBetter out than in?
DeleteIs that a win?
Life goes on,
ReplyDeleteAnd on and on,
and on and on--
It's the same old song.
Arlee Bird
Tossing It Out
That it be
DeleteAnd the song's free
Over We Go With A Return In Tow!
ReplyDeleteEasy does it and to take it slow
Things forgotten
Best not to return
Or else it will mean asking for more!
Hank
More and more
DeleteCould come ashore
I'm on a merry-go-round. Things are moving, but only around and around.
ReplyDeleteAround and around
DeleteAt least out of gas isn't found
Those who suffer chronic illness definitely feel this all the time. We go into remission and think, "yeah, I'm healthy now." Then, after months or years, it sneaks back up on you and you're miserable all over again.
ReplyDeleteHa well said! I know that feeling
DeleteYep, can sure relate to that
DeleteHate it where we're at
It is the way of life, what had left always finds a way home.
ReplyDeleteFinds its way back
DeleteSure never does lack
Like a boomerang
ReplyDeletethe song that you sang
or that STD rash
things return in a flash.
I'll skip the rash
DeleteAnd keep my cash
Summer will stay
ReplyDeleteforever at my bay
I will not let go
even if there's snow
because in my heart
sun and sand is always a part
so even when it gets too cold
On to summer I will hold
Screw winter!
Elsie
haha hold and screw winter?
DeleteDamn, that beats smashing a printer
Could make things sunny too
What? You said it right there in view
Although you may scare
Best to stay with the giant litter box at your lair
So true what you say about them coming back and doing so en mass. Great poem.
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteBack in mass at every zoo
Like depression...it keeps coming back.
ReplyDeleteNever stays away
DeleteLife likes the replay
Every time I think I'm over my insecurities, they come back. Writing never ends either; always another edit, or another story to start/finish, or more blogging. Keeps us writers busy, right?
ReplyDeleteYep, it sure never ever ends
DeleteLike many of life's trends
Kind of like the definition of insanity. Some things happen over and over again.
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteCould drive one nuts too
Maybe our insecurities keep us humble, so it's not a horrible thing that they keep coming around.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good spin
DeleteAs they don't do us in
When it keeps coming back
ReplyDeleteI thought of clients, who lack
Budgeting skills so they return
Over and over like a rash, feel that burn.
Hopefully there is some cream
DeleteAs they come with that rashy gleam
New issues may pop up from time to time, but it's usually those same old pesky "friends" that keep coming back to pay us a visit. It's up to us to make sure they aren't so comfortable that they overstay their welcome. Kick 'em out!
ReplyDeletehaha and kick em out is the way
DeleteWe have no problem with that at our bay
Those familiar insecurities do like to visit regularly!
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteA time or two
Happy Be-lated IWSG Day!
ReplyDeleteIs it odd that I find this both daunting and a bit hopeful?
Double the win
DeleteWith the spin
Yes, Happy Belated IWSG post day. Insecurities like certain illnesses give us a break from time to time, but return visits are what makes us seekers.
ReplyDeleteYep, return they surely do
DeleteTake insecurities over illness though at our zoo
Hey, Pat! Sometimes I feel really insecure in a big bookstore. I look at all those books, and I think any book of mine would be hopelessly lost among all these books. Then I give myself a kick in the butt and tell myself that if all these people can publish a book, so can I. Hi to Orlin and Cassie.
ReplyDeleteThat sure is the way
DeleteGive a kick and enjoy the day
The cats are right here
Giving me the get off the computer peer lol
