"Life IS a kaleidoscope..."

Inspired by another poet's words, thank you Chris.

"Life IS a kaleidoscope of uncontrolled moments cascading across our consciousness..."

As I stumbled about in your words 

   I knew you were onto something

    no wonder I'm always dizzy 

              and my mind in a tizzy

I sigh'd in the knowledge

      I'm not the only one that gets caught up,

in my thoughts being all jumbled & fractured

   it's the same difference

        no matter who you are

we're all twinkling stars

    in our own little universe

ever shifting in our perception 

     and altered pattern views

        wishing to connect

   on some deeper level within the bigger picture,

   the vivacity of colors in our world,

               that we so aptly call  *life*

Frieda - The theme with this gives in the lines...descriptive and appealing...Good to read your work…Thanks for the invite to read your thoughts to paper at Writers Café...I'm back to work with copy writer and doing my best to write 1000 words a day...and a subject you do not get to choose...will be busy the next few months...so I will read all RR"s might just take a bit longer to get a review...hope you understand...plus promote my book: The Onyx - Vena Amoris...for late next month release…I have very little time on my hands…making the most of everyday and taking today to read as many as I can…keep writing and sharing your creative talent here and elsewhere…

This poem is a beauty, Frieda! A fascinating way of looking at the way poets, and people in general, perceive and experience our lives.

[Frieda P]

[Kristin Lee]

I LOVE this one. I can picture twisting a kaleidoscope, turning it round and round trying to find the right image yet somehow always falling short of perceived expectation and simultaneously being astounded by the fractured colors before me. Some beautiful thoughts and sentiments in this one.

[Frieda P]

An inspired write but then the thought of one fine poet is bound to initiate flawless words from another one! You turn phrases into pure treasure, petulia .. always creative like the title of the poem.. your mind is an ever-inventive adventurer. '.. we're all twinkling stars ~ in our own little universe ~ ever shifting in our perception ~ and altered pattern views ~ wishing to connect .. '

[Frieda P]

You're too kind my sweet petulia, I know you are a twinkling star for sure, and Chris is an inspiring poet...it all just came together, thanks so much xo

[Leslie Philibert]

Like this too, especially the internal rhyme of dizzy and tizzy, fine job.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Leslie, for liking my tizzy...

[KAOlmsted]

I love the emphasis on IS (all Clinton jokes aside) ;-) It IS so quintessentially Chris and this IS an exceptional piece inspired by an exceptional poet. xoxo

[Frieda P]

Laughing here, you would go there the kimmer! haha, thanks muchly. xoxo

[KAOlmsted]

;-) My pleasure...

we're all twinkling stars
in our own little universe...

Ain't that the truth... Looking at Life as a kaleidoscope offers so many possibilities - light, color, perspective... if only everyone could have this vision. Great poem, Frieda!

[Frieda P]

Jazzed you enjoyed Rita, thanks so much!

[MsJewel]

Life is a kaleidoscope indeed. Your wise words have left me thinking...and that is a good thing. I enjoyed this one very much Frieda.

:) Julie

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille Julie :-)

[Dye]

I couldn't have said it any better myself, which is exactly why I didn't try too. A kaleidoscope that is always changing, I agree.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Dye.
