Steady Flow

Moving through a Kaleidoscopic dream;

trying to catch the colours as they drift,

impossible to seize...teasing a pensive mind,

a steady motion shifting...free-flowing,

like the azure; oceanic tide swells then ebbs.

 

Floating through the chinks of my digits,

a billowy mass...cloistered from the sane;

laughing hysterically at my own vision,

though madness is not a diversion I

perceive...just a quintessential poetic idea.

and what is that idea? or ideal? A steady flow right enough.

Hi Celticman,

you got the poem just right.  It wasn't really about anything...just a flow of words I liked,  that came line by line.

 

Thank you for reading and letting me know your thoughts...much appreciated.

Jenny.

I loved this because it reminds me of the feelings I have about waking with some elusive thoughts and ideas for poems which disappear before I can catch them. I enjoyed the intangible somethingness of your poem.

Hi Bee,

I know exactly what you  mean about elusive thoughts and ideas for poems disappearing before you can catch them.  It's funny how ideas can come at the most annoying times...like when you're out walking,  or you haven't got a pen and paper to write them down.  I was lucky with this one,  wrote it while I was eating breakfast strangely enough.  Isn't the imagination wonderful?

Hope you're having a good day and thank you so much for reading and leaving a comment.

Jenny.

Trying to grab the floating materials inside the mind, as Donovan said 'ah but you might as well try to catch the wind.' Always worth a try. Good poem. I like it when you are 'laughing hysterically at my own vision' the good-natured reality of your experience    Elsie

captureing a floating dreaminess, with the amusement at the happy nonsensicalness of it!

So sorry I got to this one late, Jenny.

Wonderful writing, and a poem that begs to be read out loud. It is very clear to me how much you enjoyed writing this; it shows in every letter, every delicious syllable, each delightful word.

Very, very much enjoyed.
