Pandora's Box

Mysteries unfold, as with
extreme care; Firstly, the
tissues of awareness, creep
to the surface, with trepidation.

The second arrival, is vocabulary;
jumbled, disjointed, exaggerated;
Swaggers boldly, drunkenly, proclaiming
their worth; Sentences, begin to
emerge; Topics, filter through the
many faucets of the imagination.

Choosing, segregates fact from
fiction; As a judge wielding power;
Paragraphs, assemble with neatness,
words of sensibility and worth,
into workable phrases; Statements
allowing the imagination free reign,
into a flight of fancy, or fantasy;

Accumulating, into a work of art;
A masterpiece, or a disastrous
failure; Disappointment, or elation
guides the pen, by it's own merit;
Determination, to create, it's only
motive.

    Thank you. I am guilty of writing as I speak to a large extent, often garbled, failing to catch my breath in the right places . I shall work on this and many thanks for pointing this out, I do appreciate it

    As with the last poem of yours I commented on, this one bothered me with line breaks, but that's also it's only problem. It's made up for with good wording and overall flow, and I actually liked the ending, even though it's a one word line, which I usually hate. Keep writing.
    Side note: Thanks for the comments on my poem.

    Thank you I think it stems from being a small child, I always had my nose where it shouldnt have been and definatly had an over active imagination

    I like the title of this piece 'Pandora's Box' and the contents within it, hehe. A very creative piece, I particularly liked the line; 'Disappointment, or elation
    guides the pen' - I like that thought. A good write!

    Nicely worded and kept together, you placed me in a gallery of words and images that I could not escape from it marveled me and kept me interested to divine what the meaning was in all of this that I have read.

    I felt many creatures of thought crawling into me from this work and would like to thank you for stopping by and commenting on my poem "embrace". Hearing from my readers is always appreciated.

    Well done. Bravo.

    much love,
    James

    Yes you are right, it is magic and mystery, the magic being the word choices and the mystery is not knowing whether it will work or not Thank you for your comments, they were greatly appreciated

    This was fantastic! I loved this piece. . . I had to learn about Pandora's box in Language arts in seventh grade. . . I don't really remember much cause it was a while ago but anyways. (that was off the subject). Well it was a great piece and I enjoyed reading it a lot!!! Great write. Thanks for sharing! Keep writing!!
    Love

    well, i havent been on pretty much all week until now, and the first thin g i read is yours. You get the idea here... it is very thoughtful, as well as written. It really reminds me of the things I've encountered in the past few months. The only thing i don't get is your title; It doesn't fit right in my mind for some odd reason... (Maybe its the fact that i havent really thought about stuff for the past wee, or the fact that i just got done with 8 hours of practice...) I've always thought Pandora's Box as mischief and trickery and that stuff, but im probably wrong. Great write here! keep the good stuff coming!

    Loved it!

    The end is very powerful. I enjoyed the structure of the lines and where you capitalized--definitely affected the mood and significance of the poem.
