Thinking Out Loud Poem by Nancy E Alcorn

Was thinking out loud and I overheard
Many words tumbled, overflowed quickly
I heard talking quite plainly word for word
With massive congestion; curtly, sickly

Many words tumbled, overflowed quickly
I tried to catch them and bundle them up
With massive congestion; curtly, sickly
But, Alas I had too small of a cup!

I tried to catch them and bundle them up
Have you e’er held tightly, your words too long?
But, Alas I had too small of a cup!
Caused words that were right to soon become wrong?

Have you e’er held tightly, your words too long?
Thoughts become loud and vaguely neurotic
Caused words that were right to soon become wrong?
I stopped listening as they were hypnotic

Thoughts become loud and vaguely neurotic
I heard talking quite plainly word for word
I stopped listening as they were hypnotic
Was thinking out loud and I overheard
