The Two Hundred Seventy Second, September 29, 2011

hello once more
my dear old friend
so nice of you to vist
though you really leave

you fill my mind
never straying far
always staying with me
every moment of my day

I have surrendered
no longer to oppose
it seems forever stuck
with a monkey on my back

confusion dear confusion
how you make a mess of me
so long have you directed
so confused I have found clarity

  1. purposefully cryptic, I see. Nice.

    is it "really or rarely" leave?

    the poem seems to match the style of the "dear old friend", methinks.

    I like the last stanza...I'd probably adjust the last line, however....

  2. I'm not a professional writer but I respectfully disagree with Connie. The last line of the poem was one of my favorites...so much so I was thinking about quoting it on my facebook status.
