Reasonable request

Missing image

Dust the cobwebs from the mind
of complex disorder,
chaotic reality.


Filter the idiosyncrasy
from fact,
even fiction.


Delve with delicate touch,
divine solid thoughts,
from whimsical pillows of fluff,
concrete notions.


Saturate with compassionate reason,
allow peace of mind to reign supreme,
then flow with the fleeting touch,
of pure... genius.

    The flow was well put togethere on this penning, the emotion, thought and feelings drip from this write... Its not very often that I take a double read of a poem. But this one made me take not only a second look but a first as well... snaps to you for that my dear poet... Please keep penning!! You have a great talent!

    I liked the atmospher of optimism that this poem creates, how to overcome writers block and how to read poems and prose whilst seperating the bad from the good

    Lovely! Great wording and images! So many lines I like, I won't re-list them.
    Such a soft, gentle touch in this - a peaceful feel.
    Lovely!

    "Delve with delicate touch,"

    As you always seem to do, my Friend. What a lovely piece of penning this is. The purest form of genius, I should think. Well done, Sweetie. Brava.

    My poet

    How many wish for this to be. So often the challenge before us seems unbearable. And then to pen something so exquisite. So very wonderfull.
