A Mind Lost in Thought

After spending a couple of days doing a whole lot of nothing and then something all withinn the same breath as it were. I sat to compose a little poetry, But nothing settled correctly nor did anything feel right. Therefore after a little time considering the next move, I read through emails and worked on some mails. It was one series of mails that had ideas and examples I had intended to keep unseen for some time and also some pieces of poetry to keep unseen on this blog for the moment.

This is where an idea that was being worked on, came forward in a manner of speaking and is now being placed here both as an experiment and a testing ground for this little idea. Firstly I want to remind folks what Elfchens are, (Or elevenie as some may know them).

I am far from up to par with what this style is, But I was introduced to Elfchens some time back and worked on a few, Yet I left them lay aside to concentrate on what I was comfortable with.

Below you will find this idea in complete motion as it were, A Poem through a collection of Elfchens (elevenie). Or a series of Elfchens that complete a poem in itself. Or in this post they are the series of thoughts one’s mind could have Or when it is myself, these are the kind of thoughts I would have.

About The Poem:

Elfchens have never been on the forefront of my mind, In fact I admit to never having heard of an elfchen in my life. Having studies poetry in University, I never had any experience with such Elfchens, until I was introduced to them by a friend here. After a little time working on them I set them aside to work on what I was comfortable with. Until this past week (I was placing these elfchens that you read today) aside, until a quick decision was made to show what this idea was.

Imagine a series of Elfchens that combine together to show a Poem in itself. I liked the idea, but wanted to wait for another time to show thhis and also build up unpublished work aside.

For this project I was imagining having a walk where I most love to take walks. But have not taken such walks for a little over a months due to an old back injury that showed itself again. Thus rest time for that activity, so I have extra time for this work.

Imagine being alone on such a walk and having a series of thoughts or sayings flow through your mind. Todays Project or Poem is one such walk with thoughts and sayings that flow on their own.

It sounds simple to me, but I will be interested in reading what others and readers think about these. Also this is a work in progress and something I have been working on with the great help of someone else, It is always great help to have a frend step up to help in such a way.

Below you should find and read a Poem in the style of a number of Elfchens that will be a series of thoughts and sayings that often flow through my mind as I walk.

Having said all of this, I hope that folks understand enough to enjoy this Poem; Please enjoy this Poem.

A Mind Lost in Thought



Silently
Walking Aimless
Counting every step
While Lost in thought,
Again.


All
Changed to
Full speed ahead,
Age and Time moved
Fast


Last
Was Never
The Ones, Who
Went All Out To
Win.



Walking
Life's Roads
With heavy Loads
Only Weighs down Your
Soul



Children
See Life
Moving too Slow
Until it starts flying
By


Roses
Blooming Bright
Inside Hearts Full
Skipping beats for Their
Love.



Lovers
Counting Stars
Lost in Embrace
Only They Matter There
Together



Beacons
Shining Light
Through Two Hearts
Invading Emotions Laying Deep
Forever



Walking
Through Fields
Alone in thoughts
Soft Soil Leaving Marshy
Prints




Broken
Hearts Hum 
Soft Silent Tunes
Helping Lost Love Survive
Heartache

ENDING THOUGHTS:

Thank you for following me on my little journey, that is composing or writing poetry. If Life is a journey which we all walk on and my journey in creating Poetry is a journey of it’s own. Which I still learn much on as I write.

At times I experiment on methods or way how I can improve my poetry, therefore getting feedback is always most welcome for such as these.

When I write poetry, some readers may be offended with something within the poetry. I do not write to offend, But such are written for reasons I outline in the posts. Often I miss typos and mistakes when publishing each poem. BUT I correct the moment I discover such mistakes.

But Poetry is a form of art work that I enjoy and thus using it in a manner to touch or inspire the reader.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Poetry is a learning curve where I always work to improve. A lot of work goes into editing and reediting and then repeating that process on a number of occasions until I am happy with the result. This is how I operate in creating posts to share here.

Please forgive for any such mistakes and for your understanding this.
