COMPREHEND?




“Expect the unexpected”
Have heard people say.
When the unexpected happens...
Do you start expecting
Things to happen?
When you wish for something...
Don’t you expect that wish
To be fulfilled?
Isn’t wanting something
Also an expectation?
Is expecting what
You want is wrong?
Is it wrong to expect at all?
This is so confusing!

    a mind twister... not so good this early in the morning. For me expected is daily routine, a wish is to get away from it all. Like wishing for a cruise - just one -I would enjoy. I know of someone who is on their third one this year... they expect it. Sigh...

      for me it just means. make plans but keep them loose because things happen and if you dont expect it you will def wallow when you dont get what you wanted but if you expect it you flow like a river...

    Instead of a "tongue twister", this is a "thought twister"! My mind is going in circles. :)
    Great job, Janu!
    Blessings!

    Your poem is a perfect mirror of the frustration of expectations and wishes that are slow materializing.

    fun word play and lovely discussions on what is expected and how outcomes impact us and our decisions.

    love your 55,
    keep it up.

    Good one. Expectations, wants , desires keep getting swapped and toppled by each other adding up to the confusion we already have.

    Expectation is part of life I think. But one has to know that we don't always get we we expect.
