The Unexplained… #acrostic poetry

The Unexplained


Under lock and key
Nothing stays hidden.
Every mind needs to explore.
X marks the spot
Placing one foot in front of the other
Looking for the end of the rainbow
After thinking for a while
Instinct kicks in, the race is on
Notes taken, never looking back.
Every thought a treasure disappearing.
Down the rabbit hole where X marks the spot…

Anita must have been rummaging around in my brain when she wrote this poem. Sisters can do that sometimes, although never a good idea, in my opinion. My head is full of so many ideas and things that should have been done weeks ago that I cannot think straight any more. I think a lot, worry even more and have every good intention in the book, but nothing is forthcoming!

I tell myself to ignore everything else and just pick one thing and actually finish it. But then I need to make lunch, feed the cat or fix something…

I need to lock myself off in a quiet room and sort out an agenda. One that might actually work!

    A great poem from Anita. As she says, “one foot in front of the other.” I know how you feel, Jaye. It’s hard to block out time on the calendar for creative pursuits, but it’s important.

      Important… and almost impossible at the moment. More about that tomorrow…

    An excellent poem from Anita. I had to laugh at your comment, Jaye. Yep. Just pick one thing and do it. It’s a starting place. Hugs!

      I thought this was a good idea, but how to stop everything ganging up on me?

    That’s a great poem by Anita. I especially love the ending.

    And I know it’s hard to stick with one thing when there is always so much more clamoring for attention. There are times I would love to clone myself to accomplish it all!
