Circling the Work Wagon (poem) by Sara Coslett on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on March 18, 2017

Love this....and don't get me going....the inequality of it all SUCKS, or can anyway. And employers, at least in large corporations, ask too much of one person . If I hear the word LEAN one more time I just might go crazy. You'll drop everything in your life before work , to stay afloat as you watch everything else sinking. And I'll just say this , husband shoveling the walkway does 10x this winter does not equal the 300 plus meals I've dished out and that is a conservative number. Just ranting. Loved this.

Extremely novel way to describe the "rat race" of work,Sara. I like it!
It,unfortunately, does not get any better until one decides to "opt out", i.e.,retire. Even retirement can become too busy,especially when one finally gets to do the things one enjoys.
Continued success~

it seems more like you need two wives and two stay at home hubbies to help catch up. Great write and I can only hope you find time someday to slow down without having to worry about making up for lost time.

How well you say it, Sara, in these sharp short lines, and you make me ask what's it all about and where's the quality?
It's good to see you posting, it's been a while.

Today's society has created a need for "something" else in a home to replace the traditional "wife" whether that something is a maid, a live in, a relative or just a scheduled union of all hands.

So much of what we write, especially regarding the poetry that we write, is so much a part of ourselves, of what we've allowed our lives to become. This endless circle that you write of, Sara, tells much of what and how you are and, unfortunately, life is so short and yet, what choice is there? What choice do you have?
So true, but so unfortunate.
