my twisted mind and the voices

by Michele Schottelkorb

take a chance

and you might find

a doorway to

my twisted mind

 

 

crack a door

break a pane

hear the song

make it rain

 

 

we are here

to convince you

our voices never

change their hue

Author's Note: funny how the voices never change their colors...

Catchy is a good word for it. I've never been a huge fan of poems that rhyme, mainly because they bring back memories of my terrible collection of pre-adolescent poetic misses, but this piece works really well. I particularly love the message of the last stanza.. Great work. :) And thanks again for commenting.

Well, I am taking a chance but incidentally what I have discovered is that the door to your mind is from the inside of the inside of my mind. So, what I ought to do is to get deep inside my mind even if I have to 'crack a door' or 'break a pane' to hear the song' and 'make it rain' and yes, Michele, 'our voices never change there colors'. The color is what makes one to walk in so that the path from the inside to inside can lead one to the other from inside to the inside, where they can meet. Sorry for taking the liberty of seeing this on yet another dimension.

Colors never change they just fade a little. Great verse that is packed with wisdom and makes for a topic of thought for hours.

Very thought-provoking. Your poem makes me want to break a pane to see the colors in my own voices and to give them a little air less they fade or turn to slate. Thanks for making me take a deeper look into my own humanity and that of others. Excellent piece, Michele.

Despite the serious subject, works well with the childlife rhyming. Left me hungering for mre.

fret not Michele that your mind ( as are all poets, as they must need be )is twisted and turning, I have brought my string, should I in it's winding lose my way.

Knocking on that door to see who might answer, but afraid I might not recognize the voice! Nice one Michele... [;0)~

No... not their hue. Their intensity, maybe, but never their hue. Whoo... this is a great poem.
