Question: Missed chances!. Do you get this!?
Just because I went for a long walk is no reason for you to carry on your lives without me!.

I sit here this morning
Frustrated as hell!.
Reading all the brilliant verses!.!.!.!.
And the ANSWERS, as well!.
I've missed my window
Of opportunity
To get my two-pennyworth in
'Cos the world moved on
without me
So my answers went in the bin!.
This is completely unedited
But that's just how I am
So if you think it stinks
As a poem
I don't give a damn!.
T D in particular,
Has got right up my nose
"Silence the Internal Voices"
Was exactly one of those!.
Veni, Vidi, Vici
Genius, to say the least!.
Granny's feeling really miffed
You've brought out her inner beast!.

Only joking, folks!.!.!.!.!.but, it is kinda frustrating being in a different time zone, and having nice weather over here!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I get you completely!. I have been forcing myself outside in my garden and doing summer stuff because I hate taking time off from Y!A poetry!. I'm completely addicted and I'm afraid that I'm going to miss out on something exceptional such as the poem you are venting over!. Maybe you can ask TD to wait a while longer before closing the question :)
BTW!.!.!.very well written and lyrical way to vent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How many of us understand "veni, vidi, vici"!? lol guess it dates us :) Looks like you used your poetic skills to take a little steam off!.!.!.and I can understand your time zone handicap!.!.!.I'm writing from the middle of the ocean somewhere NorthWest of Hawaii!. !.!.!.now, put your beast back in its cage and start writing again :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Put the beast back in the cage granny, "What don't kill us will make us stronger" (Something my mum always use to tell me , never did know where she got it from) and the weather just making up for the dreadful summer we had last year!.

Then again these last few days might be all the summer we get!. So i think you did Right, to enjoy while it lastsWww@QuestionHome@Com

Dear Granny dear
for us you care!?
miffed you dare
tell us to wait
while you're late!?

A better solution
evolution
arise on our time
then you can chime!

You could try for a visa but we Yanks are miffed that you would not allow Martha Stewart over there, so you may get hassled! Well, that leaves taking a nap and then responding!. I think somehow through it all you will persevere and your witty and well worded edits will be heard and appreciated!. Bella perennis is a type of daisy by the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Amen to that, I know how you feel!. I awake and it is night elsewhere!. Elys' GM poems happen when I am yawning to go to bed!. Weekdays are bad for me to link in with the Poetry regulars so I will learn to be happy with joining the kids in the splashing and frolicking in the pool at the weekend!.

Some answers close too soon!. Not so nice weather here!.
Great poem matey!Www@QuestionHome@Com

C'est la vie, a series of choices!. I'm delighted that you vented, and I won't be picky at all!. Things move so fast here, a miss of one day is an eon!.

To dispute T!.S!. Elliot, who says in "The Love Song of J!. Alfred Prufrock!."

And indeed there will be time!.!.,
Time for you and time for me!.!.!.
Before the taking of toast and tea!.!.!.

On the Internet, such time no longer exists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well, I am late as usual!. This lovely venting is only 5 hours old now and you all have said just about everything I was thinking!. Please lower the YA flag to half mast for us shift workers!. Hard to be witty on E's morning wake ups when you get up at 1200!.

"Just because I went for a long walk is no reason to carry on your lives without me!."

I'll remember that!. (reminds me of the joke about the three tortoises who went on a picnic!.!.)

Is anyone out there in the same time zone as me !?! GMT/BSTWww@QuestionHome@Com

My time zone is a few hours earlier than most, and I still miss opportunities!. So much for being ready and prepared!. I often find it beneficial to write about my frustrations!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

just think how wise you sound because you have the oppertunity to think about what has been said,instead of shooting off the hip so to speak!
hyndsight is a wonderfull thing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Gotta let the beast out once in a while, and frustration hones your already sharp intellect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very good - Reminds me of Wendy Cope's poetry which I loveWww@QuestionHome@Com

OK feel better now!? I know I do,

I've got answers
all God's children

who's got rhythm!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

A poem so profound
What a lovely sound
