Description
Enough!!
Seems as though
All I’ve done lately
Is moan and groan
Bitch and complain
Subject you to all
My tales of woe
And feelings of
Doom and gloom
Enough is enough
I say
You know me
And how I am
And it’s way more
Than anyone
Needs to know
About anybody
From now on
From this day forward
No more obsessing
Kvetching regressing
Enough already!!

Love the additional postscript, Marilyn...LOL You go on just being YOU. No complaints from me.
Mood often reflects how we act or write, it will change all the time, nice passage Maz!
It's something I call "police mentality". The belief that that the only route to remedy is complaint. Activists have it so it isn't a tug to the right. It's secular. Business is waiting to help soothe with bars, and clubs to satisfy any complaint of nothing to do.
Genial!
Perfect!!! All the way too. 5+!
LOL! Should I try to hold you to that? :)
I like the thought!!!
Do you have German in your blood Marylin?? Kvetching??(a person who endlessly whines or complains) I believe it to be of German or Yiddish origin. I don't for one momment believe it applies to you though, and I for one like your poems/prose. I wish I had your's and Tara's talent for writing, as you both come up with some real gems. Always a pleasure to read and quite a few times I can relate to some of them. Excellent work, and if you want to have a moan, you have one, its your God given right. Bravo!!!!!
(kvetch comes from an old German root meaning "to crush"; and it is Yiddish, which is made up of 90% medieval german...) (thanks for the boring fact, Mark) Hey—you're a writer, you can share whatever feelings you wish! You give a lot of joy and uplift here, so if you want to complain, feel free! The poem is nice & to the point and I like the rhythms and word-grouping. I'm just getting to know your writing, but what I've seen shows real comfort in short stanza'd verse, and this is crisply & pointedly done. When we read the old Russians—Dostoevsky, Chekov, etc.—our teacher said, "these writers took complaining to a height unknown to modern civilization!" (They never met one of my great uncles!) Lovely poem, Marilyn. And btw, that visual's wonderful: Is it from a photo? Something you did in software? (Do you draw?) It has a fairy-tale feeling to it—you should do more. I think it's lovely!
WOW...It's been a while since I've heard anyone use the word "kvech"...I even heard it with the Yiddish accent, which reminds me of a joke I'll refrain from telling. The thing is, I love this poem and the image that accompanies it. It's straightforward in its honesty, and that's always a good thing...but as for declaring "enough" well...I've enjoyed all I read from you...you're right in that there's little to be gained from kvetching, but at the same time, doom-n-gloom is something that entire literary traditions were founded upon, or, to quote Victor, which I haven't done in a while: "In Russia, we have this thing called Soul. In America, you have the same thing, only you call it Clinical Depression... (He was talking about Russian soul as expressed in Russian literature) which is to say that it's okay to kvetch and vent, fume, spume, and splatter the literary aethers with whatever you need to in order to express what needs to be expressed...whole literary traditions are based on it, right back to the Book of Lamentations in the Judeo-Christian Bible...but ah...enough rambling...this is a great poem, and the image that accompanies it is quite gorgeous!
... Cleaning House, eh? I did the cleaning windows thing, last week Now, noticed They could use/need another pass I can not see, too clearly In some spot and places... Write! b.
Gotta write to get things off my chest so I can move on to other things....sometimes gloomy sometimes cheerful....but never feel like it's not right to write about what's on your mind...it's healing....I wrote about it too in my gallery...the "Happy Place Train"....I think writing about gloom and doom kinda releases it's grip on me.
yes, things always change this is cool thanks for the smile warm hug, Linda
Part of life and the way we communicate Marilyn and I think its much better than bottling it up for one big explosion which is what I`m sometimes guilty of :o) Mick
Lol my friend I hope you are wrong. I hope I hear more and more, it is the human part of us that makes poetry so good, keep up the good work my friend
Kvetch avay! You do it so vell, ve love to listen...! (Do ve have a choice? :o)
Good thoughts. Ever onward and upward!
