Poetry from A to Z *
(* NaPoWriMo + Blogging from A to Z Challenge)
W is for… When
~ by Laurel Regan
(Pssst… new here? Welcome to Alphabet Salad! For background on how and why I got involved in both NaPoWriMo and the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, check out this post… and, if you’d like to catch up on my progress to date, my challenge posts are tagged with Poetry from A to Z. Glad you stopped by, and hope you’ll return!)
when there’s some time and energy
maybe then
when those unwanted pounds are lost
maybe then
when all the debts are actually paid
maybe then
when that degree is finally earned
maybe then
when insecurities are gone
maybe then
when all the lessons have been learned
maybe then
when perfection has been achieved…
maybe then.
Are you participating in any April challenges?

Life is what happens when we are busy making plans, or so I have heard.
Really nice post here, no maybe about it.

That’s the way it so often is. There are too many things that have passed me by because I was waiting for that right time. Sadly it often doesn’t come and the opportunities are lost.
You expressed this well.

So true!

I made excuse for a long time, many sound similar – but now I am just doing it!
Writing, blogging, mom business.
A little work here and a little work there and eventually, it is becoming – something.

Life’s questions answered in when and then. I found the take very interesting. Another co-incidence. My microblog monday also talks about too many Whens.

Another good one, Laurel. How many of us have done that “Some day” syndrome putting off doing things waiting for “when” everything is perfect. Well, that day never comes. The time to do it is now as there may never be a some day. Thanks for the reminder

Ah, yes. Another poem to get the imagination flowing. There must be times when we achieve what we’re aiming for. Darned if I can think of any though. 😉

Hello, neighbor across the Detroit River! I came here from NaBloPoMo’s Blogroll page. I saw your blog listed at the start of this month, stopped by once, then moved on when I saw a shinier object. This time, I looked at your list of topics and read health, politics, and Windsor Ontario. That last is what finally got my attention. I’m over in suburban Detroit and blog about science, technology, environment, politics, and culture from the perspective of Detroit, Ground Zero of the Post-Industrial Future at Crazy Eddie’s Motie News. I share with you the experience of moving from the Pacific Coast to the Midwest, having grown up in Los Angeles. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Very nice to meet you – so glad you stopped by, and thanks for commenting! Always great to discover other bloggers in my neck of the woods (even when they’re in the next country!).
