I’m willing to bend
to wait till the wind
finds its direction
is clear

I’d rather be known
than remembered

but then
it’s not my decision
just my dream

you hold
the only key

I will hold your hand
if you dare to turn
just halfway

how is it
you can’t see
this shouldn’t be
thrown away
with yesterdays
crossword
just because every line
hasn’t been filled in

stop doing life
in ink
rewrite




but I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
to get it back to good

in ink rewrite...

no, D, ramble on. i'm telling you - it's gonna be good. i like that mind of yours, and it seems well suited to rambling.

(hey, tell me if you want any critiques on these, i have a few minor suggestions)

Ever hear the expression "careful what you wish for"??? Cause it sure would be easy to rewrite right now

I like this..
"I’d rather be known
then remembered"
I guess you won't be remembered much if you're not known.
Nice ramble!

I love your ramblings, Duncan...but I also like filling in all the lines on the crossword puzzles....

Most poets love words....and yours are special.

Well done.

~ hope you feel better soon.

ironically D - that's one of the phrases i was going to pick on

but not because it's a bad one. actually, i was kind of confused. i like the idea of the way it's spelled, but it looks almost like a typo without a comma after "known." my eyes expected that phrase to be "known/than remembered" and automatically marks it as a typo. i PREFER "known, / then remembered." it def fits much better and is a good line... but stupid me needs some punctuation!

peace,

C

C---It should have been 'than'.  And damnit, I thought about that word, momentary lapse of reason.  Though, I like your take on it being 'then'.  Reads very differently.  And thinking about it...both could apply.
As for (lack of) punctuation...it's there.  You'll see it.

I think you are ramblin' just fine!

I enjoyed this poem,  and I think the
ending closes it out nicely....
