Gamut of Emotions

The main one is guilt.
How could I let it happen?

When did this happen?

Is it true?

Who do I believe?

What questions should I ask?

Who can help me?

Fear is the next major emotion

then shock, anger and even surprise.

Regret plays in last because you thought all precautions had been taken

only to find out…

you were wrong!

 

When Work Calls

And you can’t answer

because….

You are in the shower.

You are sick.

You have other errands to do.

You are avoiding them.

You are distracted… by something or someone.

You want to have a happy day.

You are already at work.

You love your life.

You are not in the mood.

You just don’t want to.

It is not every day you answer the call.

And today is not that day.

Candy Not so Sweet

As a child I would dream of pop and chips

and chocolate bars and CANDY.

The sugar rush that I felt was everything

as I ran around with friends.

Now as an adult I find myself still craving candy

but ones that are less sugar filled, more flavorful.

I like the chocolate bars or straight chocolate

but not very often, only once in awhile.

Too much of a good thing can be bad.

Candy, is a treat and now I find

it lasts forever.

Especially if my kids don’t like it but I do.

Like black licorice. Yay!

Luck is not with you today

The coffee spill – all over the keyboard.

The water in the shower suddenly burns.

Tripping over the cat who you saw laying in the middle of the doorway.

Your child being extra unruly this morning.

The news article that caught your eye was unpleasant.

Your morning commute had red lights and multiple delays, causing you to be late.

The only question that burns in your mind –

Was it a full moon last night?

Carcasses unexpectedly found

Nothing but the spine attached to the wings

Left on the side walk for passerby’s.

The molted skin from the snake that you had as a child.

A curled up male mosquito lying on the windowsill

As you are looking out at the snow falling behind it.

The dismembered and stripped body of the chicken from last nights supper

Spread around the kitchen floor curtesy of the dog.

Soon to be dead spider who mistakenly thought you would be a good landing spot.

Best of all

You live in a mortuary.

Life is grand.
