Trying to Find the Words by Cathlyn CartierDrowning in a flood of thoughts, Pouring over one another, Fighting for predominance.
Words flashing through my mind like a strobe. Blinding flashes of light followed by total darkness. A myriad of colors and textures, Fading away.
Unable to capture the momentum, To harness the energy. They drift away like dust on a sunbeam, Intangible

Posted by Tim D Livingston on 11/11/02 at 02:35 PM Great poem! I like the part about dust on sunbeams. All of it is a great description of manic poetic madness. |
Posted by Lori Johnson on 11/11/02 at 06:38 PM What a vivid way to describe being "at a loss" for words, you certainly were not when inspired to write this poem. :)
Well deserving of POTD, congrats to you. |
