SoP 11

To write poetry in the dark
Is to write poetry confused

The muttled noise
The lack of light
Shrouded in darkness
Is all sight, all sound

How to make sense of
It all?
How to escape?

Like a car on the highway,
All we can do
Is sit back,
Buckle up,
And hold on.

  1. I think you meant to write "muddled"? Other than that, it's quite perfect. I especially love the last stanza.

    P.S.) Hay noticias de S.A?!

  3. I think, perhaps, this was my favorite poem of yours.

    It certainly is in recent memory at least. We'll leave any analysis of my ability to remember things out of this for now, thanks very much.

  4. And to think I thought this was just some thing I whipped up in the car late last night with very little light and an equal amount of inspiration, really. I'm glad all y'all liked it!
