A random spray of words

A random spray of words

A Poem by Jack Force

A random spray of words, 

At some point they were relevant.

The story they unfurled seemed entirely sensible.

The morning after, they appear absurd.

Your logic in my surreal.


I announce my retirement to bed.

Good night world.

Thanks for coming,

If you did.

Usually I don't like poems that are.. indirect like this one, but I really enjoyed this. Even though you didn't flat out say what was happening, I understood you very clearly and the last two lines were what really made the meaning clear (and naughty). This is clever. Good job.

I love those final two lines!lol the sign of a great writer, if you can achieve what the lines suggest to my filthy mind! You've made it. The problem with being an artist of any sort is the confidence. We are never happy with what we produce, as you so rightly expressed, 'they appear absurd' but only to us Jack. The proof is in the reads and the returns.

I love the title, so endearing.

Smiling at you

Hey...what a fab-u-lous write.
I so enjoyed this because your write is full of the absurd struggle the writer faces in putting their write out there and it is absurd because the battle is an imaginary one and often without foundation.
It describes the challenge faced in owning ones work and the dare it takes to think it is worthy of ANY sort of publication....and where does that courage come from?? The courage to believe that what is written, is worth reading by another.
