Transposition.....Poetry Thursday



This weeks' prompt is change. This is what came out of my thoughts.
......................................................................

Transposition


with blazing tranquility
i stare at space,
seeing the various changes
vividly inside my mind.
the purple shades,
the orange hues,
intense colours
of my life
passing by.

shaking out
desolate thoughts’
i come out whole,
conceding decisively
my happiness
is what I am.

    maybe you should dedicate this poem to Descarte.

    The tranquility seem interrupted with the whirling colors, which creates in my mind a disconnect, but it seems to come back together at the end. Am I readin this correctly, is it what you meant?

    Let us not put Descartes before des horse because his four rules were:
    1 Never accept anything except clear and distinct ideas
    2 Divide each problem into as many parts as are needed to solve it
    3 Order your thoughts from simple to complex
    4 Always check for oversights

    et VOILA we have the perfect prescription for ruining a poem!

    I really like it! Two non-poets disecting my poem. Welcome! Maybe both of you will help me write a thesis!

    I dedicate this poem to you both!

    Whoa- I was just going to write something simple like "I really liked this, Gautami!"
    Ah well- I did, especially the last sentence.
    Thanks!

    and indeed for all of us

    I like the idea of auras being what the speaker of the poem sees changing inside the mind.

    I am depressed today but that poem cheered me some. The last few words make me feel better, like I am good enough however I am.

    Brilliant! Love these lines:

    "i come out whole,
    conceding decisively
    my happiness
    is what I am."

    i agree
    the happiness
    line is punchy,
    but taken on whole,
    this bit 'intense colours of my life passing by' really hits the poetic mark, imo

    very colorful, again -- nice work

    I'm very sensitive to color and hue and its emotional impact but I've never thought about it the way you've presented it. Great job!

    Thanks for visiting today.

    Hi G,

    I like reading your process of change. I can imagine flashes or prisms of color whirling, dancing, beckoning and whatnot as you take charge and decide your path, in life: "Whole" not in partial shapes (indeciveness nor setbacks) Accepting oneself is essential to happiness. Nice response to this poetic prompt.

    conceding decisively
    my happiness is what I am

    Wow, Gautami, that is powerful! It makes me want to be happy and in the end, that is what it is isn't it? Happiness is a decision. Thanks very much for these wonderful words.

    Hi guatami,

    I'm clapping, too. Lovely and hopeful. Especially taken with "conceding decisively/
    my happiness", and the colors to set tone. My mind went to a glorius sunrise.
