Preponderance

 


Could I?
Should I?
Wanna.
Can’t !

Gonna.
Gotta.
Shouldn’t.
Shan’t!

For though this urge
compels a write
to still the musings
in my night,
the sense of it,
my true intent,
may not read
as I had meant.
Oh damn that itch!
Uh-oh …
It’s sent!

Will he?
Won’t he?
Wanna read?
I tremble at
my lawless deed.
In agony,
through hours I wait,
for bits and bytes
now hold my fate.

Does he?
Don’t we?
HURRY!

“Soon.”

I read his word
and justly swoon;
and then I type in
simply …

“When?”

and start to ponder
yet again.

Could I?
Should I?
Wanna.
Can’t!
Gonna.
Gotta.
Shouldn't.
Shan't!

    Deserving deeper attention

    ...the sense of it, my true intent,
    may not read as I had meant........


    presupposing one always knew what one meant when one wrote and that the initial meaning remains constant ..LOL

    Laughing as that is exactly the feeling I had. A burning desire to know, standing in a state of frozen fear.

    It worked pretty well reading it slowly in my head as well!
    Gotta get a better grip… all those doubts make fingers slip, and holding on when you are falling – is some rather tall of ordering. Another of those laws that shows the universe is unjust… that those with the self-confidence can do it easily where as the more deserving, doubtful fail – ‘The rain it raineth on the just, and on the unjust fella – but more upon the just because, the unjust has the just’s umbrella…’ Ogden Nash.

    "Are you never satisfied?"
    Comes the poor mans terse reply,
    "No, my love, when you're around
    My womanly urges will abound."
    "So shall we do it, whatdya say?"
    "Alright my dear... just not today!"

    I Like this one! lots!

    a great pondering, wandering and squandering options until it simply settles down around the very idea of pondering no more and coresponding with another to bring on a perpoderance of hopefully good news to ponder again...love it~~~~~~Artis

    LOL...very amusing little piece, found it to be vastly entertaining and rather impressive. I liked that anticipation wrapped in each line and since I've been at the end of that particular line a time or two, thought you captured that moment perfectly. Great job!

    Awesome. You are right. It is better read out loud and fast! It flows very well and in my mind is really a great write. Keep up the good work and have a good day!

    I have a poem that sounds better when read aloud for similar reasons to why you say your poem sounds better aloud. Haha! Anyways, great write! I really like it! It's very cool, and I hate having to question myself because I'm nervous or something... we've all been there, it's that you wrote very wonderfully about it! Keep up the great work and have a wonderful day!
