You subvert my expectation of a rhyme to allow for starker truths

You're most welcome Keith, thank you for comment. It's more of a step away from reality, or at least it was written from one. I've got a few micro poems that I'm gonna upload this week, I find that writing them is a good exercise in writing impactfully.

Is this about bad sex or is my mind in the gutter?

Is this the realisation of the self? A brief poem which is loaded with content and worthy of much thought.
Thank you for this

Comment is about Freefalling (blog)
Original item by Aviva Rifka Bhandari
A dear friend celebrated her 70th birthday on 1 April. A sincere and devoted person. This poem drew me back 68 years, before I knew her, to imagine a similar scene with a more frugal fare as it would have been in those days. Every poem has one or more lines which, for some inexplicable reason, catch my eye and stimulate my imagination......"She likes space, walking and talking". As does my friend Sheryl.
Thank you for this
Keith

'Flecks' is right Keith, my friend. That's what we are left with: the unknown unknowns that haunt our intelligence, our dreams and our poetry. Thank you kindly. John

This poem speaks of the divine plan for us all, a plan which we are not privy to but will be realised in the fullness of time.

The flecks of words and canvass seem to harmonise in this poem as the writer seems to come under the spell of thoughts, disjointed yet following a strange sequence.
Intriguing and entrancing

Thanks for the likes Dean, Stephen G, Holden and Kevin. Stephen G I think you are probably immune from the likes of such.
Quite possibly Leon.
Well done to you Kevin, shouldn’t be necessary though. I just don’t understand how some people think it’s acceptable.
