Shanghai Mahjongg (pooh-m)

 

Sitting here all fired up

Helping me to forget my anger

Amazing therapy to calm the nerves

Nothing matters, nothing but you and the game

Gambling with your mind’ ability to remember

How to make the right move

Always trying to beat the odds

I am able to do it, lessen the stress yes-yes-yes

 

Monday to Friday I will try again

Again and again when ever I get the chance

Helping me to forget my anger

Joyful hours it became

Ongoing therapy for months now

No energy to write any poetry J

Good times in bad times sigh-chology  (psychology J)

Gambling with the gray substance in my head

'sigh-chology' says it all, Tinka... we need to
avoid anger at all costs... but it's hard to forget
powerful and profound pen

Mahjongg phobia has attacked you Tinka - try withdrawal therapy soon -- the game is very addictive, I know -- now break away and write a poem to share with your friends here in the den -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

Creative piece, with a nice sense of humor.
I really like the concept of "sigh-chology",
very evocative!

I love all forms of Mahjongg. I play Mahjong Solitaire on yahoo and Mahjong Safari on pogo. They both are stress beaters and make you think quick. I love the way you wrote it in this cute, light way. This is a wonderful acrostic Tinka. Thank you for sharing this.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie.

Typical Tinka, making fun of herself and her problems. That sigh-chology can help forget the anger, but sometimes anger needs to be kindled. Loves ya, tink!

Tinka,

As Karen (below) said, so good to be reading you again, you HAVE been missed.

Whatever works to relieve stress ... writing poetry is my therapy, along with an occasional round of Spider Solitaire (easy round, mind you). Oops. Forgot: you don't like arachnids. My bad ... forgive me?

Well penned. Know you're loved -

(((HUGS))) and prayers, Karla.
