This is the story of a comic script gone all wrong.
I hurled the crumpled paper
My script, bejewelled
By courage that seemed ancient,
Nested provoking humour.
Words on it sprinkled
Along the wind which carried
My dreams,
Of laughter beyond seams
As though illicit in purpose
Into obscurity…
An ignorant attempt at humour
What nerve?
At a time like this!
Questions of frozen reality
Spiked up like pillars of the mirage
Holding it strong
Are we there yet?
Can we laugh at ourselves?

Like the questions to self..
illicitly intertwined
It's like you've been listening in my head, late at night when I can't sleep. Asking, asking, asking the questions.
Yes, I agree with ThomG...the rhythm of this poem resembles my brain at times when I can't shut the thoughts off. Very good read!
Ah lovely reflection!
What nerve indeed! pesky thoughts!
I love the questions. It make you think and wonder. I really like this.
That first opening sentence - so telling and powerful - very well written! oooh and " Along with the wind that carried my dreams..." so right on - Thank you for sharing with 3ww!
i like the ending. because we should laugh at ourselves and make light of the situations sometimes..
so nice to discover your blog...there is a beauty in not taking ourselves too seriously, especially when we can let others do the serious brooding for us...can I link you to my blog?
**Gautami, ThomG: glad you could relate to the echoes that hang around within me...perhaps this is how we evolve & hope the answers we eventually find would raise us to a feeling of light, non-being...?
And, thank you so much for your unfailing comments! They really make me think "I can"! :)
**Fledgling Poet: I am pleased! :)
**Winnie the poohi: More perceptive...like an inward probe, maybe. Thank you for the comment! :)
**Crystal Phares: I am pleased you enjoyed!
**Amarettogirl: I am so glad you liked it and, it is MY pleasure to share!
**Floreta: Indeed, we should. Not easy for sure, but we should get there.
**Aminah: Haha! Looks like you are already half way there & will get there before me! :) And, about linking, of course, you can! *smiling delightedly* :)
The ending was pretty good :)
