High Expectations

A comic and poem about expectations and goals

By J. JayPublished 19 days ago Updated 19 days ago 1 min read
Drawn by me :)

Goals

My lofty goals bark—

they yank on their tether.

I gasp for more breath,

and we run together.

-

My little goals lounge—

they doze on my lap.

I give them a scratch,

and we take a long nap.

    ah ha, once again you have created a visual with your drawings and humor! I get mired in details, constantly researching if what I am writing (even if fiction) is correct; a photo for the headliner....you stated it well here!

  • Love this! Playful metaphor for a true experience.
