question
that hovers near,
it was there in my mind
less than one small moment ago,
now gone,
as distractions
of daily life beckon
through forgetfulness’ fog growing,
fleeting
thoughts vanish now,
cluttered by mundane tasks,
as dust accumulates in mind,
silent
until recalled
during dream state, waking
to find it was an illusion,
maybe

This poem has great momentum, and I identify with the distraction and confusion. We will probably never know why. Congratulations on your trophy.

Thank you for entering my why contest. Tengo gusto del título porque es verdad respuesta sencilla a una pregunta dura. Very nice job on this one.

This poetic message works so well in the form of a swirl cinquain because it gives me the feeling of dust motes drifting in the air, settling, like the thoughts - confusion.

Ah just the person who answers every question then gives me a situation I can't answer lol. Why? Just like a child who always asks
Love, C
