UNRAVELLED VERSE

I've conversed in rhyme
through thought and meaning
needling the hidden stitch
which unravels in verse.

Difficult themes taken from
shallow streams, interrogating
connotation a confessor of
truths, the sterile and the rhetoric.

Speaking of the gray impending
doom meets light of day,
my inner nature this
intolerant creator.

Impressions broil not perfumed
some considered choice cuts
consumed, what never was is
not what can't viewing patterns
from a different slant.

De-send here on my written
page with piety or rage
within just cause I've pondered
and paused.

Zigs,

I knew it wouldn't be long until you posted this 'gem' of a poem. It reads even better in the bright lights of Neopoet.

I have already commented on this piece and its structure and subject matter before, so I won't bore you with it all again...just know I think you've really captured something special with this piece.

Fantastic title!

The opening stanza is my favourite still:

I've conversed in rhyme
through thought and meaning
needling the hidden stitch
which unravels in verse.

I like the last line of the verse unravelling...wondeful!

Kind regards,

HS

hi wow what a comment thank you so much, this is about my self
I don't normally write about my self, but I was without my laptop for
ages and was just looking for another theme to write on lol
I don't often get such a great comment like yours thank you so much,
how the words sound is always what I strive for,,,,,,,,zigs

I have found if you place what you feel about the subject as the thym you can never go wrong, because it is what you feel,
and what YOU feel is better conveyed in your write.
happy holiday

I so enjoyed the beginning of this poem it led me into the rest in such a strong way and with a great flow to the words. I perhaps stumbled a little at 'not what cant viewing patterns' I made a pause after cant and then tried without it which didn't work, was wondering just how you saw that part being read? It's a strong theme that I enjoyed.

cheers for the comment I just made a tweak to this
so it came back in to stream again you mentioned this
line "what never was is
not what can't viewing patterns
from a different slant.,,,,,,,,,,,,it needs to be read like that I guess
glad you enjoyed this cheers ,,,,,,,,zigs
