I close the door -

I like to do my reasoning alone

these thoughts of mine
devoted to traversing strung out low, along

the gut strings of unmelodious whispered endings.

Developed isolation, cared for like tender

potted plants.

Maybe I should consider the stillness

of the mocking birds,

low dormant for the night

but then these heels, are far too high for serious flight

- but that’s OK

the timeline is wrong.

Paradise is not always sea washed white beaches

and January, always such an outcast month

for making new friends...

Such a well written poem PoppyS it gives me much food for thought, do you need new friends or are or are you content to be alone with with your thoughts? I've always found friends came into my life in many unexpected ways, although, when I write I require solitude to let my mind wander.

I love a conundrum like your poem!

Hi Edward

No I am not looking for new friendssmiley These days I live alone and life is good, although I do have some 'so' called friends who I could do without...

I write alone, poetry is personal and many people do not either like or understand poetry, I like my own company (most of the time) I am lucky having many interests which I can turn to.

I have to say my poetry is never easy to fully understand, bit like my thoughts, so I am glad you like a conundrum wink

Always appreciate your read and comments, means a lot to me.
