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
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.

purposefully cryptic, I see. Nice.
ReplyDeleteis 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....
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.
