my world has become a walking wound and all the best thoughts are whistling in to the sly corridors of synaptic shock whirling like wolves with gleaming skin |
to me this feels like the brain is firing much more than is comfortable and yet, that's how we create is there anything I can do? for me it's always best to let the pen fly and then the wolves stop by to eat my words take care, Nan | Posted on 2009-04-07 00:00:00 | by nansofast | [ Reply to This ] | i kind of take this as finding words through pain. | or that pain is a necessary sometimes to find the words. and maybe i am weird, but i never see wolves as a bad thing. though i suppose when used, they generally are in a metaphoric sense??? don't know. interesting title too... code name (insert something witty here). anyhoo, i think it very cool that you poem people's poems. inspiration comes from the quietest of places sometimes and i admire that you are able to find words to leave the rest of us with. kinda of a pay it forward... just thoughts. | Posted on 2009-04-05 00:00:00 | by isabella | [ Reply to This ] | Well Bill, I got a different picture to Daniel, so that is interesting. I see it as a wounded world fly-blown with maggots. I think it isn't too far wrong???? Clever write!

I look at the piece from the individual sense as if the best thoughts whistle into a gaping wound at his side but if I step back and look at the bigger picture it speaks of climatic problems as well as conflict....as if tearing it all down is the thing. I love this one. | Posted on 2009-04-04 00:00:00 | by Daniel Barlow | [ Reply to This ] | |
