Glad I dropped by David...I Love this poem! It is so relateable which is part of makes it so Great! Great Imagery and many ideas went into this piece of poetry. Thanx so much for sharing your heart. ((hug)) Shelley
Well, David, there is Good News...and there is Bad News.The Good News is that in your very intrical & imageful dipiction of what a Poet be....you are most sssuredly one indeed. The Bad News, is i finding out what i had already suspected...I am not! lol! Excellent Work. ~ FjcR ~
Rhyming poems are indeed very hard to write, I’ve read many that are forced..And only seem to slap the reader with it pungency.
Brillllliant! , yeah! 'Do you dream of dancing sounds that whirl around the mind and wake up shouting out yes! that's the one that rhymes? That is solid penning my friend and you offer the reader new inspiration to write from Love duncan X
And when sinking in the darkness of depression and light is fading fast, when pain is my companion and sadness enfolds my heart, what am I? Just a piece of flotsam on a sea of humanity, caught in deadly swirls of meaningless stupidity and awful eddies of nothingness - how to pull oneself up by the bootstraps like Von Munchhausen when sinking in the depths of melancholy loneliness that lives like the Monster of Loch Ness in my mind, ready to entrap each ray of sunshine and spirit each happy thought away - the mind is a Moloch demanding to be fed incessantly to try to keep it aloft to escape the pain below...
David, this is quite delightful - and recognizable too. A lyrical little reminder of who we are. Thanks for this. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
who wouldn't love to be 'the poet in the making'. what a wonderful way of saying your thought aloud. tnx
