Worth

TELL:   the daydreamer not to dream

the realist that it’s not real

the singer how to sing

or poet when to……. f e e l.

 

 

 

TAKE:    the artist’s brush

the poor man’s meal

It’s not that much

what’s the B I G  deal?

 

 

 

THINK:     you’re in control?

when tot-all-y….L O S T

Or that you can succeed

without contemplating cost. 

Author's Note

I was asked recently to think about relationship between: what am I thinking, what am I doing, and what am I saying...So have now been observing these three things in everyone...funny what you see when you look...

You were very creative with writing this. Nice poem!

[Richard Layne]

I love this. the 3 parts similar but totally different. And that last line! made me reread it three times. such a beautiful flow and making me think about choices at the same time. well done.

i love when pieces make me do that....to think...to go back and re-read.. thank you for reading and the lovely review. this one was designed to do that so you saying it did has made my day :)

[Tony Jordan]

Each time I read this it takes the elevator to another floor April. A really useful contemplative device in an eloquent poem.
I'd like to echo Jacob - good to read you again.

[AprilRN1210]

Aww thank you! I love the pieces that do that. I wanted to write one from my "head" of what I was contemplating after reading one of Jacob's that made me do that. Oops.. forgot to tell him that lol

[Tony Jordan]

I think Jacob is cerebral and astute enough to have picked up on that
psssst *whispers* - He's like that Professor Xavier dude out of XMen.
;)

welcome April.

[AprilRN1210]

Lmao, shhhhhh he will hear you

[Tony Jordan]

mmmm... he will 'think' you.
xD

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

So many people think they know best for everyone... they knock others for how they live to hide the fear they have in living how that person does.

[AprilRN1210]

Very true Dale, thank you. Always a pleasure to see you.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

we are dreamers in a way, artists in a way---we take what we see, what we feel, what we know exists inside of us...and try to put it into words...so others may understand themselves better.

so glad to read a poem by you again...

Exactly! Hard to look sometimes and separate what is us, what we have picked up along the way, and what we have dreamed up. Like we've said before, sometimes it takes other's showing us from our writing lol so crazy how many times the truth gets reflected before it is understood. Thank you Jacob, I feel honored and blessed to call you friend.

[AprilRN1210]

Where's my head??? I Forgot to thank you for inspiring this contemplative piece with your awesome writing. You've always been someone who I have looked up to and admired. I wanted to write one that took me deep in my head like your x and y one did.

[Tazeen Ahmed]

Incredible imagination!
The syntax is so perfect and appropriate.
These minute details really hooked me and I really was relating with it.
"Or that you can succeed
without contemplating cost. "
Something unique that made my day!!

[AprilRN1210]

Thank you, It's nice to meet you. Will have to check out your page soon.

[Einstein Noodle]

its like riding my HD on switch-back roads ;) great sense of rhythm April! and i like the font changes to accentuate your point ..that doesn't always work ;) your title and poem of equal importance i think .. self worth and valuing others is such a necessary purchase we should not hesitate to pay the cost ;)) good stuff ..planting it in me noodle this morning and taking it with me today
