Chaotic Mind Games
Virginia Salter

up, up , up
crash!
escalating, motivating
gnash
words and articles
poems and prose
sitting on the hillside
smellin’ like a rose
sun goes down
dark climbs in
my mind and heart
are in a spin
where are the words
to string on a line
to bring about
a work so fine
to catch the eyes and minds
and such
get avid readers
in my clutch

The same place they are for all of us....somewhere within the depths of our muse, our self conscious, our ability to peak as writers, our inner truth and honesty, our affected personality from the circumstances that make up our life, from our spirituality and from our basic inbred morals....from the real us...don't you think?

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
