HELP!
I ate too much!
I took a test!
My boat capsized!
I'm in distress!

I can't say it's cute, Mary Lee, because you are in distress, but it's just right for yelling at the top of your lungs!
ReplyDeleteIt is cute--and perfect for yelling. I tackled my biggest source of distress with The Procrastinator
ReplyDeleteSending you a lifeline!
ReplyDeleteOh no! You certainly expressed that feeling!
ReplyDeleteYikes, stress and distress all rolled into one poem.
ReplyDeleteSORRY
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, May dear,
just go on a diet
then learn to swim.
I liked your poem
and had to try it.

Your brief take on distress was distressing to me!
ReplyDeleteOk, duh me tried to make these things all one event...and then I remembered...it's all related to one emotion...but then you knew that. I am so dense sometimes! When I came out of the forest, I read it again and went "Nicely done!" Really!
ReplyDeleteI cannot think,
I cannot talk;
I'm not so sure
Which way to walk.
Which way is left?
Which way is right?
I'm just bemused -
Confused - tonight.
"distress"
ReplyDeleteoh de mess

Mary Lee,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun rhythm...though not a fun day.

My biggest distress moments revolve around being late and losing things! Thank you for your poem, Mary Lee. xo
ReplyDeleteGreat poem, Mary Lee! I thoroughly enjoyed reading everyone's contributions!!
ReplyDeleteI live this little ditty, I'm afraid. :/ Love the accompanying photograph you found.
ReplyDeleteThe leaf is distressed. :-) Couldn't resist a visual example to go with my poem!
DeleteBeing distressed can cause such a mess. Great poem, Mary Lee! =)
ReplyDeleteI think part of my distress is never feeling quite like I ate too much...
ReplyDeleteadmire your brevity!
With all deadlines zooming in on me, I feel this poem even more! Love it. :)
