Shrink

When I told my Psychiatrist

about my poems,

he sat bolt upright

in his chair

and started

scribbling

furiously.

it was then

that I knew

I was really onto something.

Well written humor - a very nice little tale. The first time I misread it, thinking that the psychiatrist was the writer. It gave the whole poem in interesting little twist, I think, and an insight into how the only cure for writers block is self-perscribed.

It's curious how mistakes can be beautiful.

A fortuitous error, then! I'm glad you enjoyed it, as it was fun to write.

[Gaia Octavia]

Love it! 😊 !

[Zugzwang]

Thank you, Gaia.

Funny and intriguing. Brings to mind a private detective who finds a clue.

Well done.

[Zugzwang]

Welome to my world. Glad you enjoyed it!

Ha, good one! Very humorous, as the start is sounds serious but u love the joking tone you convey. It's also relatable, as a few years ago I wrote a very dark poem and shared it in a school poetry group, the next week I was in talking to my year teacher...

[Zugzwang]

Yep, you got it. Its one third serious, one third joke, and one third 'I can't believe I posted that'

Thanks, Terry. When your shrink writes a lot, it's a sure sign that there's something going on...read moreThanks, Terry. When your shrink writes a lot, it's a sure sign that there's something going on...

Oh... This made me belly laugh loads... Thank you ;-) A succinct use of wording & wonderful narrative of observation... Brings to mind a wee funny... 'I used to be a Psychiatrist - But I'm alright now' -boom, boom!!! No offence intended - used to work in that field - many moons ago & observed a lot...

[Zugzwang]

Thanks Dragons. Glad you enjoyed it. Having experience in the area, I guess tou could write your own on this subject if you were so inclined! Thanks for the review.

Poetry is the best therapy. Keep writing and exorcise all your demons. Then you can stop and look around you and smile.

[Zugzwang]

Yes, I actually smile and laugh every day. I am generally quite a cheerful person. I can't help it!

[Firebird]

:-) you get things out of your system. Have fun today!

[Zugzwang]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

And just think of the money you could have saved. I love the idea of a panicked psychiatrist. I don't know quite why, but I find it hilarious. Wise words Zeitnot

It's a true story! When he's scribbling, he's recording and when he's scribbling furiously you know it's something important. The humour of the whole thing wasn't lost on me either! I look back on that image and have a chuckle to myself.
