Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
I'm that kind of tired
that would transform even
the fondest birthday wishes
into the most offensive
insult imaginable.
My whole jaw hurts like
a shooting tooth-ache,
my limbs are heavy,
my zombie feet drag
along behind me.
Tiredness turns the
afternoon office into
a black and white film,
a European movie,
in a language
I don't understand.
It feels like I'm drowning
in a sea of exhaustion,
a yawn brings tears to my eyes,
and if I closed them
I'd be snoring within seconds.
I check the clock.
hoping its nearly home-time.
Three o'clock. After what
feels like an hour,
I check again.
Five past three.

Damn! That is classic, in soo many ways..good write!
Thanks a lot, Alan. I was shattered yesterday, up all night coughing with the bug that's going round. I tried to get it down in a poem. Cheers, Tom.

It's sooo good that I can feel your exhaustion. Thank you for taking that last ounce of energy, and gifting us with this poem. You've expressed what we've all felt at times. Such a good write!
Thanks Bella. It's a bit of a drag this week, and I did try to capture it in words. 🙂 Cheers, Tom.
Very relatable. Tremendous write.
Thanks, Thomas. Appreciated.
Time just seems to slow down when you are not enjoying yourself Tom.
Andy
Very true, Andy, very true. 🙂 Cheers, Tom.
You've gotta make an appointment with a Career Advisor, Tom - is it economic circumstances or inertia or having something to write about which keeps you stationary?
Maybe you'll write about a doctor's visit Tom. I hope you're feeling better. 😉👍
Yeah, imagine... doctor's visit, then the hospital and then who knows!! Thanks, AP. Appreciated. 🙂
