Seeking validation ~

Seeking validation ~

A Poem by Frieda P
"

...of scribbles & all that chicken scratch ;-)

"
poetry, a magical elixir's inclination  
attempting to recompense karma
taking liberties within a poet's foundation
ambivalence in the silence of voices
memories cut like a knife
or make the spirit soar,
inky finger's dabbling in intercourse
expression in articulation's transformation
within past tribulations & present ploys
circumventing a future's inscriptions,  
metaphorical artfulness or deception  
as far as the eye can comprehend 
pen'd of blood, sweat and tearful plights 
flights of fancy and the mundane
flowing reminisces on manifestation's pages  
peeking into another soul's elucidation 
decryption of dire straits and perplexities, 
abstruseness, conundrums & cliffhangers
interpretation's sweet and sour nuances 
written in destiny's inscrutableness
each a mirror'd enigma unto ourselves
seeking validation in poetic mystification

Oh my, Frieda, lots of stuff here. You missed all the fun when you were gone. I will have to fill you in on how I was told poets who have no specific metre and timing and rhyme have styles unrecognizable and are all the same! HA! No one can match nor duplicate your unique sense of wordage and the way you cobble it all together ...:)

Inky fingers dabbling in intercourse

That line with its vivid imagery grabbed lol... Outstanding write.

It seemed that all the grandios words used were to amplify that searching, need for validation, felt a hint of that between there... Thank you.

Thanks muchly E, encouragement is always a plus, and I get lots of it from you, you're the best!
Well Frieda, like that famous movie line, "you had me at"," poetry, a magical elixir's inclination
attempting to recompense karma" ( how does one recompense karma anyway?) And then floored me with, "each a mirror'd enigma unto ourselves
seeking validation in poetic mystification" (poetic enigmas of mystification, we do have those big poetic egos don't we). But and this is a big but, you throw in "intercourse (I know verbal to avoid censors), and other goodies like sweet and sour and perplexities. Well lets just say I'm staying away from my mirror cause I already saw my ego and it's not very pretty, nope. But Frieda, I think this poem of yours a nice treat... sprinkled with just enough of that " Articulate"' ;0)

The ego is a powerful antagonist, easily a match for the poet. Perhaps the key is to write in sake of the truth and love and then let the world do what it will with your poems. 'What Me? I wrote that? I guess I must have … sort of attitude.' Because poetry can help along the way, but if you look for validation of self within words, you will always end up sobbing incoherently. Great write and good to have you back:)

LOL … pretty soon I'll turn into a tree or rock or something.
Dang! Your competing with Sami here. ;)
You packed in a whole mess of meaning here Frieda. How could I interpret this write in less than an essay?
I will simply say you have outdone yourself.
