pragmatic silences stretch
beyond the conscience
delving deeply
searching out reasons
why and wherefore
considering the pro's and cons
before returning to
rationalism allowing
the dreamer time to digest
and inject common sense
the permutation can be
considered in a number of ways
best suited to the dreamer
rational thoughts crowd
out unreasonable discourse
the dreamer wistfully
remembers a time when
thoughts where easy to
hand making conversation
light and without preamble
jocular expedient
was the normal form
no longer acceptable....................

intelligence begats conflict with the simpler things in life, fun with dick and jane, with lines like see spot run, dick chases after him jane throws the ball spot barks, are lost on a mind that has transcended the mortal planes of common consensus and now reads manuals of technological advancement and encyclopedias while sitting on the john....lol..Artis

Thank you and I am not offended by your kind words It was rather overwhelming at the time and I think I am beginning to appreciate how these things happen. I wont be looking to write in this vein on a regular basis but if it happens again I shall embrace rather than run scared

I like it,is that so wrong?
Dear Cutie Pie,
This poem is many things but it is not boring!
Looks like you got overwhelmed with a gust of creativity!
That happens to a lot of people who write. Actually you
did this quite well with all that your brain was throwing at you!! Please, this in no way is meant to offend!
Well, you must be a writer worth her salt or this would not have happened.
Forgive my two-cents.

Yes I think you hit the nail on the head, thats how most of my poems are born, some in disarray some orderly some in jest I am glad you liked it, have to admit it is growing on me
-
No, not boring at all. I had to go back and read it again. I like the style. It all sort of tumbles out at you at once, like your thoughts are all in disarray.
-
Thank you I understand what you are saying and yes it was written from the heart but possibly because it was not in my usual mode it struck me as strange after writing it. Thank you for your support it is much appreciated
-
I Don't agree I feel it wasn't boring It had feeling and though No poem with both of them can be a boring poem write what you feel NEVER try to write what you think others feel cause you will never please anyone so again write what is on your mind that will always come out as a good poem one from the heart good luck and god bless

Thank you for your constructive critique, It is not a poem that anyone would actually like as it is very boring but having said that it does feflect how I sometimes feel, Thanks again, it is much appreciated

huh... seems very much a reflection of my own life. I used to be able to talk freely, well, intelligently (or so other people said) and now I seem to have gotten bogged down with thinking about what I say and what others say and looking rationally at it all, and picking out of my thoughts the thoughts that others gave me and so by the time I've actually constructed something I feel I can say the conversation seems to have gone by.
The complete lack of punctuation reflects the flow of jumbled thoughts that happens during this. (liking the cogs for background)
