The beginnings of an end.

The beginnings of an end.

More thoughts

of standing

than dirt have

travelled

in the shower.

Twirling to 

impending doom,

a whirlpool drains

the end

of pondering.

i like being under the showet,it gives you time to think while you get rid of all the dirt and by the time your out,you are as fresh as a new day...no negativity,no dirt...great piece:-)

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you so much Mary. Doesn't the mind ignite when under the shower, flooded with thoughts!.

[Mary Helda]

it definately does

I get such a cleansing vibe when reading this. Pretty neat poem(:

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you Lluvs. So do I as I watch water and thoughts go down the drain.

Your spending entirely too much time in the shower ! But now that you mention it when I'm in there instead of thinking about an end, I'm thinking about a beginning. Must be because your drains swirl backwards down there (g)

Thank you Bill

thoughts in the shower are often left there with the songs we sing...

dirt travels...just as the bad things that happen to us travel with us...and it is hard to wash off the pain.

Thank you J

I have resorted to just taking baths since the shower gives off too many gripping metaphors;
those of sudden endings, of unfulfilled dreams, of unwritten poems of unprepared endings etc...

I love how you ended this....dana

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you so much Dana

Thank you so much Mimi

You again. hahaha. Let the dirt wash off and go down the drain and move on. Let your sins be washed away and your life renewed. As the dirt of life is watched away, doom goes with it.

haha I actually saw a pie graph of a shower study whereby in the shower 10% was washing and 90% is just thinking. And I do that! hence the idea of all my thoughts going down the drain lol.

Haha, I do that, too. :P Best thoughts emerge when having a shower. I'm writing novels in my mind under the stream of hot water ^^

[andrew mitchell]

haha me too Mimi since i started writing again!!

Sometimes finding 'me space' can be difficult. When we do get a chance to ponder they are usually somewhere that isnt conducive to recording said thoughts.

I liked 'twirling to ...doom"

I read once that Luther (not MLK) penned the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation on the crapper.

A pie graph study showed we spend more time thinking than washing in the shower while getting wet! lol I often look at the drain washing away my thoughts lol. Thanks Anto haha the crapper!

your thoughts drain away in the opposite direction to mine's my antipodean pal (counter-clockwise) - well ... at least I always thought so until now ....I just googled it fecksake...not true...lol

[andrew mitchell]
