in and out



toying with picture,
while the world diffuses
evoking days of laughter
nostalgia dances
from converging eyes
as the aura fades out.
gray hues demarcate,
celestial stain of ignominy.
stridently gazing at
the very being. the sun
eludes brilliance.
gloom enfolds
reclining on the wall
surrounded by memories
piercing the soul.

  1. Right, Pat. Actually I am experimenting with words. I was writing too much of simplistic poetry.

    Thanks!

  2. I'm a clinger-to-memories type so love the poem.

    I read about Ces' daughter -- the poet and mathematician -- and thought of you. I was discussing the art/math connection to another blogger recently, too (she switched from statistics to illustration at university). There is a connection that many don't see!

  9. I like your poem (and the one from a few posts ago about the math). I am learning to love new words, different words than I normally use. I'm taking a writing course at school this semester and it has given me the desire to use words I normally don't use - not to sound better or more educated or anything, but just for a different sound in my writing. I hope that makes sense.

  14. Nice word selection and a step into land of dictionary. You'll laugh...here is my word for the day.

    officious • \uh-FISH-us\ • adjective

    *1 : volunteering one's services where they are neither asked nor needed : meddlesome

    Now as to simplistic poetry...Exactly the variety I write. In most of my writing for business and other reasons, I strive to write simply about complex issues.

  16. don, it is as good word as any. Why should I laugh.

    I know what you mean. That's what I try to do. Writing simplistic poetry about complex issues.But occasional lapses AR allowed!
