Cogitation
Not by well worn news
or melted thoughts of you
do I try to break through
Not from well torn blues
or crushed ego muse
will I begin to choose
When night closes its blinds
and the wind rattles you name
I turn to shuffle my cards
and store them away
Not to be outdone
or to avoid a truth
do I want to run
Not for lacking a view
or liquid thoughts you
will I conceive anew

| LOL! Lloyd, I do like the occasional drink, more to plaster thoughts to the wall, but then you will always find me in the kitchen at parties. :) |

| This poem paints a word picture of a narrator that is afraid of falling in love or afraid of trusting that he is making a good choice. It sounds like he uses booze to escape making the decision. |

sydni... the greatest reward for me is to leave others with their own thoughts and feelings from my words. If they resonate something, its job done, thank you most sincerely. :) fisherman... interesting perspective, I have thoughts on everything you said, but I never realized they leaked out so much in this work. Even now I'm cogitating! Bebe... I was listening to the Leonard Cohen song "Bird on a Wire"; something in the lyrics clicked in me and wham! ia... You are correct, the spell-check didn't recognize it was 'anew' and separated the word, thanks for spotting. I’m not sure about “recipe for expurgation” but definitely “introspective cogitation” (self- interrogation?) fits nicely. I think it’s something we all do, even subconsciously.
Thank you all for some great thoughts; amazing and beautiful! |

"Not for lacking a view
or liquid thoughts you
will I conceive a new"
This is inconclusive to me, perhaps I am dim.
Should 'a new' be 'anew'?
For me, thinking is captured in something which I think poets relate to too well. Sometimes, I find myself pressed to tinker with words or pull something from my insides.
"Not from well torn blues
or crushed ego muse
will I begin to choose"
Crushed ego and well-torn blues; recipe for expurgation, precursory method to interrogation, introspective cogitation. |
