A Mistake

  A Mistake
Picture Credits:

Oh darn, I slipped
and almost missed the floor,
I just don't understand
what's going on anymore!

Sometimes it's this
and then sometimes it's that,
I've been turned so much,
I don't know where I'm at.

First it was this way
and now it is not.
So much give and take,
I don't know what I've got.

Somebody somewhere,
I've made a mistake.
Didn't think it could happen,
with the precaution I'd take.

A little of this
and a lot of that.
It's over here,
but I don't know where it's at.

Oh darn, I slipped
and almost missed the floor.
I just don't understand,
what's going on anymore.

Watch out, oh no,
I messed up that time.
You'd think to win,
would be a crime.

Somebody somewhere,
I've made a mistake.
Didn't think it could happen
with the precaution I'd take.

Woops, look out,
guess I goofed, that one.
I thought this just started,
but I guess that,..it's done!

This was fun to read and it made sense to me somehow. My favorite part was where you slipped and almost missed the floor. I think that line says it all.
Thanks

lol, trip and miss the floor....that's when you knock your head into a table. lol.
I like the form that you used for this, especially the way you repeated the verse about tripping and almost missing the floor. If you can't tell, I loved that line ^_^

Awesome job

You have done it again, this is good. I didn't realise you knew so much about growing old.....lol.
This is the norm for me. I get out of my chair to do something and totally forget what it was. I have to sit down again and think,,,,not easy,lol.
Thanks for this Anthony.

I always enjoy reading your work.
This is hit into my feeling somehow.
It just so real for human life, I think.
Heart.

I agree with David. The form and rhythm so match the content and subject. You do this very well.

This WAS funny and fun to read as well! You know... you are quite talented. :-) Good job. Now what are the requirements for the one I'll write and I'll get right on it!

AAAH....Exactly how I felt the first time or two I tried to maneuver around on this site, but thanks to perserverance and some help via email from the powers that be, I came back and then I found this funny little poem that oh so accurately describes the life of a harried housewife, doctor, lawyer, baker, farmer, office worker, Indian chief etc. etc. etc. Almost everyone can identify with and appreciate what you have written here.

This poem explodes with feelings that the writer's life is disorganized, confused, frustrated, completely out of control.

I don't mean the poem looks like this, but the feelings portrayed certainly do.

The poem itself reads in a comical, rocky, helter-skelter format that makes the reader believe that the author is totally 'loosing it' in his personal life. The rhythm of the poem is almost musical, in a funky sort of way.

I liked this a lot.
