Riddled Thoughts

After a little rest period in a hope of clearing a back issue, I got back to composing a little poetry, but as it often seems to be the case, Inspiration or creative elements evaded as it were. Thus intent on creating a little poetry, I forced the issue as it were, and worked on pushing beyond that thought of no creative element and forced a little poetry out along the way.

I started out with no thing to begin with just a blank space, also I was intending not using what I called “Link Words”, Like then , when and other such words and also down to He or she. This worked very well for two stanzas. BUT I felt that it may be too much all in one complete go.. Especially when the poem seemed to take the road it was going over the first two stanzas.

So I relaxed my intent of not using “Link Words”. What resulted I believe is a poem almost of two style which I hope some may see. Becase I feel one shows the mindset of the person in the poem. Also I feel it helps to create a flow of its own..

About The Poem:

Almost a poem in two parts, This poem should tell of a mans mindset following the breakup of a relationship.. From the cold, ice like relationship that was to her quitting and leaving. In many ways I wanted to bring the minds thought rather than anything else.

But I could also bluff a lot in stating many things about this poem and creating it. BUT it was started out with nothing in mind and creation in itself was not intended, But I ran along with what showed up before me..

It has been my decision to quit using certain words and in a hope of letting lines flow easier in other ways rather than with “Link Words”. I still have a whole long way to go on that way, but with hard work it should be enjoyable.

Also with a buy time as of late my work on poetry was sloowed down a little, but should result in better poetry. Or at least that is my hope…Ands my road to learning more on composing poetry will contniue either way.

Having said all of this; Please Enjoy This Poem:

Riddled Thoughts



Shining beneath soft snow glowing bright,
Lay’s Love ready and taking flight.
Covered twice ‘neath blankets of ice,
Awating loves fires to entice.


Under shields of Pride left to hide,
Emotions yet exposed beside,
Public park benches thus sitting,
Still, fine tuning her quitting.


Beyond the rusted iron gate,
Contemplating his sole minds state.
With riddled thoughts that wandered free,
He sat awhile counting to three.


His restless bones started to move,
Walking then in this same old groove.
Intent to improve his lost smile,
Hostile thoughts evaded in style.


On pathways home, thus like wishes,
Muddled free from ordered dishes.
She left, quitting this time for good,
For nothing matched where he yet stood.

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.
