abstract thinking again
wondering why ducks
no idea why ducks
just ducks are there
random bits of nothing
like flies getting stuck
ideas cling to the strip
forming no coherency
distracted by shiny
glitter holds attention
can't focus on anything
scattered images float
it is like having a fever
shifting constant flux
nothing lasts forever
somethings not at all
lost in my own mind
while never moving
looking at the colors
concentration impossible
another day of wonder
seeking a child's awe
finding the beauty
never looking beyond
time now to focus in
on being responsible
and wake up to reality
such a sudden change
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.
Within the mystery that is our brain we find deep and shallow aspects. We find ways to stay focused for long periods of time and moments when today's reflection happens. Some do not know of such 'swings' and take it for granted they will always be as they are today. I could never say one is preferable.
