Pick and Choose

There are times when I back away
And others when my mind would stay
It is a game of pick and choose
And often I would pick and lose.

For who can know the human mind
If not expressed your sense is blind.
Some will answer and some will not
And some will form a mental plot.

Your tongue a foil of lunge and tarry
While the mind will fence and parry.
And never will the wound so deep
That the mind in rash cannot sweep.

The only common bond is earth
And the umbilical of birth
Forget the factors of our dare
The common is in need of care.

Our rash is deadly to the core
Without its care we will no more.

See...this is what I am always talking about...I need a new word, for I have worn out "wisdom" ... but your rhymes of wise speak of things that our minds can feed off of and grow, as will our spirits if we take the full measure of your lessons intend.
Think of your poetry as our daily serving of soul food

I do so love walking barefoot thru your mind.

I pick and choose you as one of my favorite poets...I don't think I could make a better choice by verbal/written acknowledgement of this move....

Seymour this is really good. You've said a lot and said it well. It's not easy to keep to a tight form and make a serious message come through with seeming effortlessness. You've done that here, and it is either the result of great talent or hard work. I suspect equal portions of both.

Good job.
