I’m always mixing letters,
it comes as no surprise,
when T’s turn into R’s
and O’s turn into I’s.
But tempered tapping,
keyboard slapping,
Luddled Metters, on the page,
Stupid spelling,
angered yelling,
keyboards smashed in fits of rage.
But what I find annoying,
is work that’s been mislead,
Corrupting and destroying,
the underline in red.
I hope you understand me,
when I tell you check it twice,
it’s common sense, so use it,
also known as ‘good advice.’
~ Andrew
I felt like complaining about bad spelling for once, it’s not something I can say ‘I’ve never printed anything without mistakes’ to but it’s certainly annoying when someone leaves enough errors to have people laughing at them. If you liked this you may also like Keyboard
Oh this is awesome news!! i say “DO IT!! DO IT!!”
Just remember you want to be heard…that will help with the nervousness…
My tip: Pretend you are just reciting the poem aloud in your bedroom alone….that always worked for me!

I’m hoping to write something entertaining in some form so a direct reaction will be heard rather than the typical ‘applaud the performer at the end’ so I’m going to get to work on it tonight around writing any other things I can.

We poets are a delicate lot it seems. We all seem to be somewhat shy & quiet & isolated…maybe that is why we are talented? 😉
I am sorry that you find you have to isolate & that you are anxious…it is no fun at all…

May I ask Andrew do you have an anxiety disorder?
I only ask because what you shared sounds alot like what I have dealt with for years.
I hope you are feeling better now!

I’m not sure to be honest, I’m always anxious but I never saw it as a disorder or anything

Yes the Mental health people & Doctors recognize GAD: Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
I suffer from it when under severe stress. I find I need ‘alone’ time to get the anxiety under control…

I take a lot of alone time and I get anxious at the worst possible times. The stress of school adds ‘alone time’ to my already excessive isolation

It’s a neverending cycle, I have a headache so I can’t work, I get stressed because I can’t work, I play games to relieve stress, I get stressed because I’m not playing the games as well (due to the headache) and I end up with a severe stress headache They usually do go away though.

Have you been seen by a Doctor? Do you have Migraines? They sound quite awful Andrew. Could staring at screens (games & computer) be making the headaches worse?
Just a thought….

It’s stress related, I’ve had days where I play no games and get sick and others where I spend all day on games and I’m perfectly fine, I’ve tried keeping my tension down but I get very tense over almost everything

I’ve been under a bit of stress which caused a headache today, I would rather use poetry as a medicine but it’s best done when I’m at 100%
It’s no fun being ill, it makes being productive so much harder

I’ll be sure to keep up the daily poems, I’m glad you’re enjoying them, the fact people are reading my poetry daily makes me all the more likely to write them with a strong motivational force behind me ^.^
