Cerebral overload. Emotive wordplay. I compose Heartfelt views. Descriptions vivid. Bizarre emotion. I write, expect to be understood. This is madness, to hope for miracles. Still, I pen all those leafs of paper. Analytical encumbered, intellectually second-rate. Poet without verse, simply doodling. Delusional, desperate, unfilled lines, meaningless prose. Difficult to get to raison d'être. Imagined ideas. Ground-swell of feelings leaking from my brain, these wonderful thoughts, writing them to be understood. Ravenous need for THEM. To be read by THEM, and failing sometimes. When that happens paranoia sinks its stinking, gory teeth into this writer's psyche, tormenting, and hovering o'er my literary death. For there is a season for reasonable collapse. ©Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble. ~*~ |

It's all good JP. Your words are honest and emotional. You lay your heart out there....and that's not always easy to do. You're a poet, and that's a very good thing. |

the heart of a poet essentially I also beat myself up wondering if anyone gets it or cares, as much as I just feel I should write for myself, I want someone to hear , is that vanity? ego? I don't know anyhow, Friday morning greetings to ya ! |

Friday morning right back atcha, EmmaRose, and thank you for your input. I imagine it is, as you queried, vanity and ego which drives us to want to hear what others think of our poetical musing. I imagine there are people who write solely for themselves and never let anyone read them. But most of us do like our readers, whatever it is called. ~*~ When you get a bladder infection, urine trouble. ~*~ |

My dear friend, I admire your guts-especially when you display them on paper. You are indeed a poet! I can so relate. Lori: ) |

"Ground-swell of feelings leaking from my brain," There are SO many great lines throughout here JerryPat, but I especially loved the ones above.  This was a powerful and very vivid piece. I really enjoyed the descriptive ways you captured your emotions here. Well done indeed. Best wishes, /Kit |
