A better place to be

Today I enjoyed my mind,
it might not seem a big ask,
I’ve been doing it most of my life,
Often wondering
if it was as much fun in other people’s heads
as it was in mine.
A dangerous neighbourhood at night,
but which of the best places aren’t?

Today I enjoyed my mind,
it hasn’t happened much lately
but today is today

judyanne

- imo of course

i would suggest you break that one long line up a little - maybe
'Often wondering
if it was as much fun in other people’s heads
as it was in mine'

lol
i really like
'A dangerous neighbourhood at night'

one's own mind
it's a good place to be at peace in isn't it

"As the mind once again took control" would be an apt ending for this piece but it needs a lot of work.
The theme running through is held there, but seemingly behind bars of self mistrust, dare I say any more, Yours as always Ian.T

let's just say I had a good day and they are so rare I wanted to celebrate a bit.

There are more good days to come just wait and be patient, why do you young ones want everything in one go, lol
I think I forgot to say I liked the frankness of your write it seemed quite natural, Take care young man and know we think of you, Yours Ian.T

weirdelf

that is an nice compliment. Although you know I have studied many forms of poetry, I believe a natural (sounding) cadence works best. After all, what are we trying to do? Talk to people.

I wrote something in almost non-verse that you seem to appreciate.

Where we are so different, and so important to each other , is that if I could say a poem in one word I would. Yet I understand that you could say a lot more in epoesy (is that the word?). And I would like to learn that too.

Told you I'd return lol. I see you deleted last line so my suggested change os moot. But since I went to the trouble of thinking up a non-cliche I figured I'd pass it along :
"however rare". So trash or use as you see fit..................stan

But only the first 8 lines. The last 2 lines did not add anything for me
