In The Back Of My Mind Poem by Paige Scott
In The Back Of My Mind
*- Once more, a challenge from my sister. She gave me the title and said 'Write something. I know you can do it.' With her around, I'll probably never get writers' block! ! ! -*
In the back of my mind, though I’m smiling,
There is always that “something” there—
Lurching silently, clawing violently—
In the back of my mind it’s there.
Still I'm happy, but always trip back
To a corner so far in my mind—
Subtly speaking, terribly creeping—
It poises, in the dark, in my mind.
I lie down to sleep, but then it flashes
Pictures, of “something” before my eyes—
Boldly flashing, sounds a-crashing—
Each time I that close my eyes.
Some people see them and let me tell
Them things I see in my mind.
And I lay my burden on a friend
Who is loving, and good, and kind.
The first verse is brilliant, suggesting hidden depths and secrets at the back of anybody's mind. It made me want to read on, which is always good in a poem.
Paige: The beautiful rythmic nature of your poems are a gift from God. Keep writing and I give you a ten. See My poem I Want to Live. Your friend Lynn
Such a beautiful flow to this poem Paige. Your sister sure knows to press your buttons! You imagery too is fabulous. Bringing sound into the picture makes it even more vivid. Excellent 10 Karin Anderson
