read 'tween the lines

Take each sentiment,

     twist at your own discretion

  a cathartic inquisition

   can grasp timely translations,

  bend them aptly to suit your

           own disaster's rhyme

  turns on a dime in 

           perspectives's intuition,

  everybody knows the

     ideas are simply overstated 

       and liberally conjugated 

   words read surreptitiously

          'tween the paraphrased lines

  aimless paths amidst seaweed petals

                  & wildflower drifts

   where horizons breathe to expand,

       & rush meets lush tranquility's rhythm

ah ha, a philosophical poem from you Frieda... And music too, "I got nothing left to prove... to you" "a wildflower"...

I liked the feel of these words as I read them, they were like a "daisy in as field of roses" (from the song), or "wildflower drifts" (your words, which I found nicely "conjugated" by the way)... even in poetry, metaphor and image, there is reality, and it is either true or not, someone has twisted the meaning and intent of your words... hopefully I have not done this with this poem Frieda, missed the point...

you don't have to read between the lines to know that "wildflowers (and their drift)" are beautiful because they are "wild"... anyway, you know sometimes I go all over the place as I read your poetry Frieda...

Doing the happy dance to your sweet words Curt....

I don't understand why some poets
just don get it or know it.
That there is more than meets the eye
when other poets right their rhyme.

They should know not all is as it seems
when a balladeers writes out their dreams.
Us writers share a metaphorical bond
cause we all drink from the same lyrical pond.

[Frieda P]

Oi, I haven't been 'cute' in years...ha ha

[Matching Socks]

Yeah, sometimes people/things are like the transformers...
More than meets the eye. I can think of a few times I should have looked deeper.

[Frieda P]

Transformers, that's an excellent analogy...thanks Ana Sophia.

[Matching Socks]

You and I are Transformers but I can think of at least one person that is a Decepticon.

[Matching Socks]

I sometimes feel paranoid reading between the lines, but I have come to find that sadly, most the times I am right, and when I don't, I get burned.:) Nice observationally twisted truth.

[Frieda P]

I used to think that way too, but whenever I don't go with that intuition it comes back to bite me in my fat arse. :)

One must be an expert in reading between the lines, even life has its fine print. Love this one Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Life's fine print is the teeniest, you need flippin binoculars...thanks Anne.

[redflutterby]

It's all about how you twist it or should I say some peoples odd perspective?? Yes we must read between the lines sometimes to really get the truth whether from others or just life in general. x

[Frieda P]

Exactly my sentiments, thanks so much Red. x
