Tonight's Poet Corner: Sonnet Solstice #293
When Plans Don't Work by Belinda Roddie When plans don't work, and my strategies fail, I find myself faceplanting on the couch and groaning loudly at my epic fail while my wife deals with me being a grouch and makes me dinner - hot ramen with egg and spinach, salty and delicious. She tells me I did all that I could, and yet I feel the chill of inadequacy and wish that things were different, that things had gone better that day, and my future stays unclear and uncertain, although I'm glad I pushed through and got it out of the way. Sometimes, when plans don't work the way they should, you take a breath and focus on the good.
