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!...

[Travis Gibson (poetic h..]

This should be the disclaimer posted on every "influencer's" profile... not that the zombies would listen anyway. Outstanding piece.

[Brad Dehler]

I appreciate that Mr Travis! I do appreciate the interesting take on it as well... Indeed

[Chris Shaw]

Really sound piece of brevity with humour added to it as well. Nicely penned.

[andrew mitchell]

Don't you just love wisdom in a poem through brevity. Great work.

[Brad Dehler]

This was a wonderful observation and sound advice. Maybe some of the holes need filling in; certainly where education and communication are concerned. Everyone is so, "Oh, don't talk about that, you might offend someone"...but how can there ever be understanding or empathy or enlightenment without civil discourse? We can't go shoveling everything into a ditch or sweeping it under a rug forever until the ditch overflows and there are noticeable lumps in the living room carpet. What we need is to bring everything out into the open and hear every possible opinion and perspective on every matter to gain a well informed opinion of who has a better solution to a problem. If we cant fill the gap then maybe we can build a bridge of understanding across it together. I enjoyed the read.

[Brad Dehler]

Civil discourse indeed. Unfortunately a rarity. Totally agree with you. That is the beauty behind the cafe scene; we can sip coffee or tea in between assertions and hopefully be open to another perspective.... Thank you sir

We have a VP that thinks the best course of action when a foreign nation is acting out is to travel to their border and openly criticize them. In response to that sort of message North Korea fired a ballistic missile across Japan a few hours ago. The same VP was put in charge of securing our own southern border but still hasn't been there yet. Talk about your "holes" in thinking.

[Brad Dehler]

WOw didnt hear about the Japanese incident. I'll have to look into it. Yes, absolutely "Holes"!

[Veronica Staehle]

Or worse crawl inside (in hopes of something)!

A true thought delivered gently.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you Veronica. Yes the allegory crawls on. I like that! :)

[William Michael Reeves]

This is pretty cool. Kind of like an Epigram, but more profound than funny. But still hit my funny bone. You'd be good at writing limericks I bet.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you for that vote of confidence and insight about style. Much appreciated.

Nicely put and so true - we all do have gaps in our knowledge. Allen Ginsberg used to describe himself as 'An Eternal Student'. And maybe that is the best way to be.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you. I didnt know he said that. It is funny because I have often said the same thing. Ever curious but also humble enough to not believe we have it all nailed down.

[W. Barrett Munn]

This is succinct in the best way possible. It is not what you say but how it is said.

[Brad Dehler]

Thank you so much W!

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]
