The dance of fools

I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it. Edgar Allan Poe

The blood, red on the lips,

inexperienced, almost like a clown

a story that tells it selves

 

of words concatenated

a waterfall of gibberish

 

in a confined world

looking at the horizon

blurry images

burned on my retina

with tears

 

useless gestures

coming out of my hands

obviously meaningless

a catch in the void

which fills them

 

a dance in the silence

it’s one of fools

one that cries

for understanding

for a simple way back.

Like an engine of Peomes Rudi. I will try to go down a more accessible path reviewing this so I can show you at times, like only twice a year I can if I push myself hard enough, make sense. I think that your form reflect abstraction of thought in terms of meaning and words. Your writings do not posses redundancy in words. Also related to form is the relation to narrative and even though it does not relay on the strong presence of characthers there is always an overall story line unfolding. Which admitedly it is always imbued by a train of thought based on helpful experience. In here we have then the mentioning of those who do not take themselve seriously, for one reason or another they posses quirks and topsy turvyness yet a sincere gesture. The yearn in muted eloquence as their honest hunger looks to be satisfied. They await.

Smiling patiently.

Melancholy says it all.

Thankyou

Thank you for this honnest review, Rene, you're faster than the lightning. I'm starting to know myself and my style by reading your reviews. I must confess that after a certain time I look at my writings I wonder where it comes from. It's a sort of flow, a river of thoughts that are passing, sometimes the same thoughts I had before, but it's never the same water. :) Rudi

Thank you Will for taking time to read my poem and review. :) Rudi

[Delmar Cooper]

I wonder if we too greatly pity the fool? Perhaps the fool keeps a secret we cannot share.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

I wonder sometimes if I am the fool and others are the normals. Thank you Delmar. :) Rudi

A way back, as though we could understand more and then go off the path, then understand less? In some cases this is perhaps true, when we were taught it was better to behave one way than another? or then another...what way back shall we all be going, where will we go, or hide away, where will I be this time next year in the same place or with more poetry to feel that it is an accomplishment to have written, will I meet a German speaker, or a speaker of another language? What will we do to understand the world, and our nations that we live in and we each so small with only one brain a piece

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

[Confuser]

Rudi, I can certainly relate to this one: words concatenated a waterfall of gibberish. You are a very good writer and your experience shows. This is sad to me. Thank you.
