Laws of Motion and Temperament

Not your regular poetry theme

Author's Note

I had to delete this poem & re-post it from fresh as my non-WC friends could not access this one poem. For some weird reason, all my other poems could be read by non-members except this one. Sorry, Jacob & Coyote your review comments & also my replies were automatically deleted too.

Interesting. I think some people have an accelerated personality. They are always at top speed. Others live their lives by the law of action and reaction, never thinking anything through. And some couldn't be moved or changed with an atom bomb. I'm pretty sure those last two describe my late husband. Thank you for giving us something to think about!

Many of us grow into adulthood carrying a guide entitled 'How to be Me'! Comes time for re-evaluation and reality strikes. We need adventure, wander and meander. And. that's where Newton, a genius. enters stage right and left/ That done - with your direction, your words, wit and considered thought inspires those who need inspiration to consider your poem and... at least for a while, change the behavioural path and more. Your words really are inspiring, nudging those who need a nudge to think again then, think and act accordingly

(Mental and physical inertia wastes imagination and oops the muscles/bones. That simple addenda from non-genius me.)

well .. had to appreciate the social conditioning we subject and are subjected to ... by each other and ourselves .. it's really very tragic .. would an equal state reign in your "blink" .. emotions would settle .. unrest in the mind would calm .. the seas would calm .. but we don't get it .. no .. sad to say .. it seems that our pendulum swings and sways with an erratic motion ... loved the read .. i found enough humor to keep from crying .. mighty fine stuff for introspection :)

hi einstein, thanks for reading my poem & commenting.
yep I would agree with you, we of the world, never seem to learn our behavioural history lessons.
the leaders still covet each others' lands & then go & kill the inhabitants for for it.
