Holes

Everyone

    Has holes in their thinking

Evermore in their speaking

Our dubious task is

    To not fall inside

Seems that each day, perhaps each season or term, presents data relevant from the past. That in turn leave those 'holes' for yet to be decisive completion. Research covers a multitude of factors as you surely know. For many, holes are an essential.. we need dig in order to discover more but with care - else there could be a landslide!

[Brad Dehler]

Quite right! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts!...

[Lorry]

Excellent. Succinct and to the point, which is right down my poetic street. Or at least used to be at least, but ever since that pesky lockdown thingy, I can't remember much.
Long covid: the gift that keeps on taking!

[Brad Dehler]

I am sorry to hear that. Long covid! how horrible. We should stop sending money to Wuhan. Especially for gain of function research.

[Ciara]

True words spoken.
Lies and stories are never without holes.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Ciara

[Ken e Bujold]

enjoyed the thoughts this little gem provided Brad. yes we all have holes in thought and opinions, but I also enjoyed going down those rabbit holes by times as they lead me to some very interesting thoughts of my own as I try to understand how and why theirs are so opposite my own

ken

[Brad Dehler]

Yes, for certain. A blessing and a curse. To be unique and with a different message. At the same time we want to belong and be understood. I really appreciate you catching on to the "rabbit holes" that ensue from this writing.

[emmajoygreen]

Holes often appear where there was nothing worth seeing until.. 'eureka!' words come along to show the way all the way down or all the way up to the surface of.. whatever1 Such a clever almost unique way of creating treatise!

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you Emmajoy for your thoughtful take on this poem. Yes, its that eureka moment that carries us further, to look beyond and to hope for it again... I like that "treatise" on life, I have often used that word in breaking down the logic as well as the intrinsic feel; navigation through this life...

[R.J Calzonetti (Siniste..]

I realize I’m not the best at conveying what’s needed in a review, but I love this style of yours, you always have something profound to say, especially at the end of your works. Thank you for sharing.

[Brad Dehler]

I really appreciate you saying this. I take it to heart. So glad you find the value.

[KWP]

this reminded me straight away of the song lyrics 'slip slidin' away ...' ha ha ha and off she goes into the black holes of thought ;)

[Brad Dehler]

Lol very well. I think that is an excellent place to be- black holes of thought ;)

[AYVID N]

Oh those holes can be so deep...so damning...and sometimes, its such a struggle to avoid them.
Superb wordplay and great message.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you, I really appreciate that DIVYA!

[AYVID N]

My pleasure Brad :)

[Amber Stone]

HA! gezzees...this one is: just a masterpiece!
congrats, Brad,..thanks for sharing it.
sincerely,
Amber

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you so much Amber. I am blown away by your compliment, dont know what to say. THANK YOU!

It is only when we are not looking outward that we find ourselves on that narrow path leading to one of these holes.
Very cool indeed.

[Brad Dehler]

Appreciate that "cool" vote, very much. Made my day sir

[Brianna Brie]

Good one! Don't get so caught up in ourselves that we forget to consider another person's view. The power of a good debate is that we may actually be persuaded to move over to their side of thinking. Yet, "Everyone" includes me and you. There is a good chance that neither one of us are entirely right. lol

[Brad Dehler]

Yes! Thank you "Everyone" include me and you for sure. I have put something of that notion in the intro to one of my books. Its important not to claim or appear as the all-knowing/ego centric writer. Absolutely!

[Dennis Wolf]

Of course, human beings are only human beings...

Not exactly the kind of poetry I normally read, but this one is definitely a good find.

To not fall inside... Ha ha, sounds simple enough but unfortunately in practice it isn't always so.

Cheers

[Brad Dehler]

I am glad you gave it a chance Mr Dennis. I appreciate your supportive words. Definitely- hard to put to practice, challenge accepted....

[Dennis Wolf]

Sure thing


Cheers
