Reading tea leaves of a penultimate verse.

What mantric path
follows the elegy
of a soon to be -
dead write
that once circulated
uncharted waters
by a pen in mouth, pondering.
Where knowledge was a
teacup that poured
from above, and
wisdoms thoughts
that followed, born
filtered through
carried on an Om.
There lies on reading
the tea leaves - the verse
from beginning to end
turned on it’s head
kicking up dust
while I played
with the words.

Reading the verse from beginning to end - like the task of watching a thought from inception to completion - you can do that whilst reading the leaves I suppose. Capturing the wisdoms and translating into something magical through the tiny amount of language we have been given - infinitesimally rather difficult

great thoughts to sink into here - probably just on my own trajectory - but hey!

There is always cleverness and magic in your words; please tell us where you keep that crystal ball.
I need a palm reading.

Hahaha thank you for the smile Sami and for being supportive in my scribbles. A true friend indeed.

[Sami Khalil]

Yes siiiirrrrr. You are welcome .

Attempts and successes of using whatever extraordinary method of creating that one special poem, perhaps? Such academic words, leaning to the intelligence, the spiritual and other dictates to find the way to a finish? Might or will need to re-read again.

Thank you em. I suppose I was trying to convey the birth and death of a poem once written in a rather hocus pocus sort of way. lol. I’m just glad to get one review so thank you.

You always deserve more than one. Seems these days that if you belong to a clan or write less than thirty words you can be found 'invisible'! Your next poem's title will be hocus-pocus, yes?!

[andrew mitchell]

You are are always so supportive and thats why I'm here still em. Thank you.
