In welding two pieces together Great care has to be taken as to not distort the piece In the right technique Free verse is like this You take the right combination of words Merging them in a bond of adhesion In that finished poem the strength To support its own weight Must be assured in the minds of many In creating artwork sometimes You send out too many good things And the effects get tarnished In over abundance What pieces do you send out? And what pieces get buried Maybe to be discovered sometime later Some things will rust over time For the effects are momentary abstractions But most will vintage So some sort of flexible vault Has to be comprised so that some Can enter to taste the offerings Bringing in their own interpretations Yet the idea of one person having So much to say gets people upset Especially when you do not comment on their work But when your mind is developing at such a rate That the thoughts are flooding out The floodgates say to hold back But the force behind it is storming out much too fast So you try to divert it to different pools of reflections For sooner than later you know you may dry up And like an athlete the time for effect will diminish So I must weld my pieces into a patchwork Being careful as to not mass produce More than is needed Preventing a glut Or worse to lose self respect In my offerings So I must create a garden of many verses For those willing to reflect on their own thoughts In the independence of them picking the right spot But as I may have to post Ignore the poet He know not what he is doing But just in love with his work For those that put up with me thanks for I am just a mess!! Written in a rush to get to work that pays me. Blessings for a world were all can be heard with equal voices.

In over abundance What pieces do you send out? And what pieces get buried Maybe to be discovered sometime later-- kind of like Joe's head? *chuckle* You just keep getting them all down like this, m'friend!I know that more people read than the numbers imply--some times I just go "quiet" and read silently myself...so..write on, "poet-dude-mon"! |
