Five steps in-
I'm drowning in white noise.
Five minutes more
and the static is a roar.
Five steps back; what was
I thinking? Was I dreaming
I'd last five minutes
before drowning in white noise.
I'm drowning in white noise.
Five minutes more
and the static is a roar.
Five steps back; what was
I thinking? Was I dreaming
I'd last five minutes
before drowning in white noise.
I don't know what's worse, brain farts or brain freeze. I'm going to go through with this but I really want to back up and run like hell right now.

Looking forward to reading your poetry and/or brain farts - LOL. I don't think I can commit this year, but I'll surely read and post the works of others!
Very creative, L. I love the rhythm and rhyme. Plus, it speaks to the fear we all have, that oops moment, as in WTF am I doing... . You're doing PAD too? I'll go look at your poem there. Cool stuff.
You may be "drowning in white noise", but you are off to a good start! You can do it....
I laughed...and that was only when I read the title.Loved your poem. Let's help one another along. :)
Thank you,all. I was feeling so bad, I wanted to hide under a rock.

april is a lesson in accepting the poem the muse gives us each day. we can hide from them later if we want. ha ha. good for you for getting started!
I actually downloaded white noise onto my iPod and started kind of falling in love with it! Glad I'm not alone on this 30-poem journey ...
