My Wilderness

Missing image
My thoughts ramble towards a completion;
An essay, of words with no sense or rhyme;
Just an ability to congregate, somewhere
below the outer- reaches waiting for some semblance
of organisation, into this disheveled mess
I call a brain.

Natural flow is beyond the horizon floating
just out of grasp; Stuttering and starting
as a dis-jointed puppet, going in opposite directions,
tugging reason with metaphors and punctuation;
wonderment, as to why I torture this keyboard
with ill spent grammar, and overwork the spelling apparatus
within this machine;

Cussedness, drives me on to
a penultimate sentence, perceived in it's
peripheral deliberations; Do I knowingly
subject myself to this state of affairs
willingly?
Yes, she groans today and for ever more.........

    The spelling of Organisation / organization is optional in my dictionary, but thank you for pointing it out, it is appreciated

    Excellent

    Oh, hon. This was good. I enjoyed every silly sylable and each sublime reach.
    Twisting in the wind, inside your mind, Dirvish dance of clamoring ryhme.
    Woohoo!!
    Can you tell I liked it?
    LOL
    Be well;

    while this is an abstract poem, it holds such um...non abstractedness (as poets we can make up words right?) the theme is coherent, even if the language is not. it takes the picture and tumble dries it until they are one.

    organisation should be spelled organization i believe. I am often tortured by my repetitive thought processes in my head and sometimes the mundane bleak nothingness but i usually squeeze out something, or try. This is lovely. Take care.

    The plight of every writer, it seems.
    To think, to deliberate, to reach for the flow that comes and goes at its own want.
    Quite good. I applaud.

    Wow, I haven't been on AP much lately, but wow.... that was amazing (not that I'm really suprised, coming from you.) Anyways, I did enjoy it. . . it fits the topic pretty well. That was rather abstract. I enjoyed it, thank you very much for writing it.

    Ah...true art is what is perceived in the eyes of the beholder...Abstract art is always interesting in the aspect that it can bring to mind so many different things in different minds...You have written a true piece of art here...Great job!

    Very nice. The way you've arranged the words here is reminiscent of a "disheveled mess" and fits the poem very well. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you Kate, yes there is so much depth in abstract, you only have to see the art, the beauty lying in one's own perception. We see what we want to see be it in words or paint. Many thanks for your kind words

    An excellent piece, I really don't know what to say, perhaps due it being abstract. Nothingness attains so much depth, if you really think about it. Thanks for the share and good luck in the contest.

    Take care, Kate
