A Thought On Thought Comments

This made me laugh! and think!

Ya got me to thinking. Ever hear of LaGrange Il, or Brookfield? God bless all poets-MJG.

now that's an original one. 10 all the way.

haha! ! interesting.....read mine on the same lines thoughtless thoughts

A non-typical thought on thought.

Our thoughts can be a curse, I agree... You said it well. Good poetry piece

'..condsemned to think..'.Yes the power to think is a boon as well as a curse. Kudos to your thought Sir sathya narayana

If only we could know what our dogs are thinking! I wouldn't be surprised if they were laughing at us w/ our obsession of ourselves

You say 'higher animals' but I wonder how you make the distinction between them and the supposed lowers. If they can all think, surely there is no lower? Made me think! Thank you. Love Effie.

This poem made me grin to my ears. You know, I never really thought about it, but it's true. Which kinda scares me...

Methinks this is excellent, woof woof!

Fred, I like your 'Thought on Thought', though I think you could lose the 2nd line. It reminds me of when I lived in a caravan in Cornwall - the cows in the next field would come to the fence to listen to my stereo. A friend used to bring his flute over to platy to them; I merely talked to them. He had the better of it! What vanities. Anyway I wrote a little 'flea' haiku which your poem brought to mind: When I lived alone cows would often visit me, chewing on my words. Keep it up and keep cutting! Essence is all

heh, wow, what an interesting poem. kind of strange but i really like it because you're right, other animals think, such as dogs, it's just that self-centered humans don't always notice/think so. nicely done,9/10

Hey, hey, we're the Super Monkeys! Higher primates indeed. Just a thought on 'A Thought on Thought' but then again, this member of Homo sapiens, because he has the ability to walk upright tends to think too much anyway. GG

I agree with you but it seems that only man is obsessed with thinking about thinking. Animals may seem to rely on instinct which to a certain xtent they do but I have seen them In particular domestic acts. Meet an obstacle to their insatiable curiosity. Then apparently stop to consder their options but almost invariably succedd in getting to where they want to be
