I'm standing at the window. I hear something I see a gloomy light may as well not be a light if its going to be a gloomy one still; captured my mood a face shows itself quickly disappears was it a face or myself looking back at me boggles the mind mind boggling repeating myself; yes you can tell when things aren't right everybody can tell its like the world has canted things don't mean what they used to even since yesterday or maybe the world hasn't canted maybe it's been me all along it's possible ©March 19, 2012 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Projecting our own mood onto the world as we do can make it such a different place from one day to the next and from one person to the next. But that's the variety that makes it so interesting too. An expressive poem i really enjoyed reading. |

Hi, splashMeadow, and thank you for stopping by my world. We poets and wanna-be poets can't help but splash our feeling all over the place, it seems. Appreciate the time you took to read and comment on my little bit of gloom and doom today. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

It's an eerie sensation when you know things aren't exactyly right, but can't pin-point exactly why. I know my world's canted and recanted more than one might deem feasible, probable or even possible. It's even scarier when feeling that unexplainable wrongness slowly but surely replaces what we believe it is to feel "normal." I think the roller coaster attendant snuck away for a snow cone and never came back in my case! I do hope you find yourself righted, and sooner, rather than later, friend. Michael |

Thanks for the pep talk, Michael. I have been "canted," and "un-canted," off and on for most of my life, buddy. Just one of those things that we must deal with. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |
