Bifurcated Thoughts
~*Marge Tindal*~

Dividing……thoughts
going every……which-a-way
eludingcapture
within……inking
elusive…………rhymes
tearing………………apart
bifurcated………………thoughts
surrendered
now in
symmetry
all that is
left of me
~*~



*bifurcate - to divide into two branches
birfucated - divided into two

Marge - it amazes me how easy you make these different forms of poetry seem. I wouldn't know where or how to begin! Enjoyed. Chris

I had to find out what bifurcate was.  I already had my dictionary out when I found your explanation.  This is wonderful and true.  Joyce

WOW!!! I'm like Joyce. Due to curiosity, I had already looked 'Bifurcate' up. I like the symmetry of your poem here, I like experiencing poetry as I read it, and I love how all of your thoughts come together at the end. A real fun poem to read.

FriendsAll~
I thank each of you for allowing me to 'word-skip' through your thoughts~

'bifurcate' was a word I ran across while researching some scrabble-fodder~
You know me .... just gotta play~

NightShade~
Thankee, gal ...  not only is it easy .... it's my Valium~

Joyce~
Glad I got ya' looking~
That's also a large measure of why I play with these new words.  I had an English teacher who would have been soooooooo proud of me ... he taught me to look in the dictionary each and every day and pick a new word to familiarize myself with~
I love sharing some of them in poeticized thoughts~

LighthouseBob~
Thanks fella~
After studying the meaning ... it just sort of flowed to the page~

Thank you always from the heart of my little bottom~
Good luck to you gal~

Well, I don't know about 'magic' ... but it sure is FUN !

Marge, an amazing bit of writing and designing. I love how you teach us new words; you're like a human dictionary.  

Huggles, Marti

Lovely to see you in the Pub ...

Thanks gal .... I don't get to do much, but I love the relaxation of doing it~
(Will start the epidural steroid injections tomorrow ... keep me in your prayers ... I'm so tired of this aching)

Hope you are doing well ... I pray for you daily~

Yeah, I only recently learned what the word meant.  Only the context was life.  How when you're younger you think "this won't affect me when I'm older", but it does.  Nothing changes just because you become older.  There is no bifurcation between young and old, at least the way I've seen it.  

I don't understand, but maybe thats it.  When you finally do understand something, you're no longer bifurcated and you're a complete person.  Thats really cool.  

God bless,
In Christ,
-Craig

Dear Marge

Thank you for adding another word to my vocabulary!  Hopefully I will retain this one in my memory banks!  I always thought the 'English Language' was complicated!  You have confirmed that for me!  Eh! Eh!

Love Isobel xo
