While Writing Poem by Noelle Kocot

While Writing

Rating: 4.8


Someone inside says, "Get busy."
But I've got appointments to keep,
I have an abstemious love of equations calculated quickly
While the tepid day melts into design.

And the high cheekbones of the beautiful life
Bear the loose look of a calendar by lamplight.
I search for patterns in everything.
I am tied in knots of comprehension.

I think, how useful it might be
To pierce all the hands of the earth
With an oath of pins encircling snarling planets
But talent and shallowness sewn together

Is nothing but a kerchief tied around a survivalist's head,
And it helps to know the feet wriggling through a hole
In the universe will land for an instant
Upon the cushions of the dark,

And that after marching one doozy of a kilometer after another,
We each come upon the same poem scribbled in invisible ink
Taped to the door of a room
In which an austere justice is burning for us.

Very interesting poem with fascinating expressions. A pattern oriented mind finding poetic beauty in some previous skill. It represents a mature mind opening to a larger consciousness. Thank you for sharing.

Complex and yet imminently readable. Need to read more of her work to see if this is her typical style... either way I think I like her

Writing is healing to the soul. We write to express what we cannot say.
