Attention

2781

I have a short attention span

My wife calls it adhd

I believe it's part of the plan 

 

Long on wind 

I am blown away 

In a gale of words my minds cast adrift 

I lose concentration. 

 

Don't be miffed...

 

Sharp arrows pierce the heart 

Endless teaching 

Like a fart.

 

I may love reading war and peace 

But adhd has given me blessed relief.

 

Just to clarify 

About the show 

It's not your poetry 

In case you didn't know.

    Hahaha, Valiantstar! 😂 The clarification at the end got me. There’s something wonderfully self-aware about admitting that sometimes the mind simply checks out regardless of what’s being offered. And “endless teaching / like a fart” certainly brought me back to attention! 🤣 Great fun, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

    A bit of tongue in cheek humor here that made me smile. Set in good rhyme it shows the good and bad of attentional problems

    Indeed, a blessing in disguise. Attested by one wont to overthink and be overwrought. 👍🏻🙏🕊️
