Give Me A Pen

Just a rant

Damn this path between my mind and my mouth.

It meanders for miles,

And the meaning melts in the milieu.

My communication comes only through its elimination.

Transcription sans interpretation.

Shall I describe to you my meaning?

Impart to you its feeling?

Give me a pen, then.

Witness the fruition of my meditation.

Desecration or revelation?

I care little for your own impression.

At least you finally understand me.

I enjoyed this write. I wonder sometimes if I truly write anything or it's all received by some universal telepathy inserted through my synapses and squeezed out in ink.

[Earthrise]

I tend more toward the universal telepathy thing, myself. Like all spiritual or cosmic ideas, I'm not sure I actually believe it, but it helps to think in those terms. Writers can be egocentric, so I think it's good to imagine our ideas coming from something other than ourselves.

Thanks for stopping by!

like me or not, I write what I write....as the Turtles sang "I am what I am and that's all I ever can be"

this is a very smart poem...love the " Transcription sans interpretation"
I think you impart a feeling with this...one that we can gather for ourselves.
like what I write or not...at least our writing introduces us.
thank you for this piece, Earthrise,

Thank you for your review, J. Your critiques always keep me going

[Tamanna]

Well if this isn't shooting straight, I don't know what is.
Loving the banterish style of writing.

Whoa, I like your attitude! My niece told me one time that I have no filter. Haha. I try to check it at times. To write what we are thinking is sometimes easier to get our point across than to verbally explain it. Sometime things do get lost in translation. I like this poem very much. Very straight forward. Nice work. Temp

[Earthrise]

Haha, thank you! Straightforward was the goal. It really is so much easier to write things than to say them. It's good to meet someone who agrees.

[Temperance]

Nice to meet you too! Temp
