A Fraction Of My Mind
 |
| Figure Eight, 1952, by Franz Kline |
Encircling
Intertwining
Thoughts
Forming a figure 8
Within the confines
Of my complicated mind
Although unfocused
I watch them form shapes
I don't want to understand
But...
They most certainly understand me
Hello... they breathe
As I shift my eyes
So they won't know
That I know
What they want

verification makes it really hard to comment. you'd get more comments if you turned it off. i had to do this several times to get it to work.
I find myself unfocused so much of the time...
ReplyDeleteooh...eerie, just as our minds can be at times. well-written.
ReplyDeleteI like what comes from your complicated mind.
ReplyDeleteThank you... it definitly has it's perks!
DeleteThe process of writing can a good way to let loose the complicated thoughts ~
ReplyDeleteloved how you ended - a great piece of word-play that really makes you pay attention and nod your head in understanding. That's satisfying, as a reader. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for this comment! Your words made me smile. All I hope to do is write poetry that gives others as much satisfaction as it gives me to write it.
DeleteVery entertaining and scary too! Don't we all hide from the things that we drum up in our minds :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for the wonderful comments and support. I really appreciate ya'll coming by to read!
ReplyDeleteThe circuitous ending (last three lines) is like the figure 8. I can so relate to this!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of how I often tend to go out of the real focus and drift into my own rivers! Nicely done!

ReplyDeleteDaydreaming is how I solve problems, get creative. Nice writing!
