Thinking (a tanka)


         Thinking

 

Thinking likely makes

more problems than it solves but,

if that is your bent,

know:  the deeper the abyss

the higher the apogee.

I like the 'deep' thought that went into this one Cynthia and the message you are putting across.

Hi Cynthia, thanks for the nice welcome back. It has been a busy summer.
I find it hard to work out how to respond to comments, except by going to your blog. I guess thats good as I then read your work here too.
I like the language you use, and the way you make emotions very physically grounded.
I read the 'Resting' poem at Hebden last week and it went down well, so I thought I would share it wider. I am not bold in sharing my poems. quite hesitant with some. Especially longer ones. Do you only write short ones or do you feel the blog expects short poems?
