A blow with a word strikes deeper
Than a blow with a sword
Words are all we have
Famously, frivolously, chitty chitty
My girl says I make up words
Sometimes I leave it blank, empty head in a room
Meaning, this thing, "this thing" being my favourite line
Fills in the gap on thoughts, of my missing words, read my mind
Ok ok, time out, ours to hold, on hold, I remember word
Lets see, in pictures view
Mirror, mirror, on the dictionary wall of words
To whom is the word, best to behold
This hold adds meaning in definitions expressed
Thesaurus gives options, go on make my day
On words to replace with, then with, them with
Poets like big words, again with confusing conundrums
As if methaphors are not
Hard enough to decipher
So brain works, brain food
Brain storm, tic toc, tic toc, sudoko
You should know by now
Already by now this is me ranting.
But to t' point to be made, by now, on words with words
Chaos and order are two sides of the same coin
So who holds order, ready in exchange for chaos
Curiosity always gets the better of man in exchange
I am heading towards order with word, patience, me love
The thing is, this thing is
Poetry like abstract painting
Needs subjective, perspective, rendition
For the individual to make their own
Mirror, mirror on the wall, this thing, with words
Who is the most beautiful, of them all, to be used "subjective"
Note: if you understood this poem, then you did better than I did
This was wonderful - I especially loved the final two stanzas!
ReplyDeleteSo much is subjective in poetry, Kodjo. You have that right. (visiting from Poets United)
ReplyDeletei agree with mary about subjectivity
