My Fleeting Sanity
by Walter Jones (Age: 63)
copyright 04-23-2003


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Light falls across
a darkened room

leaving an image there

I am not sure
friend or foe

don't really care

Reality is slow
the line thin

mind torn with wear

Pushed to limits
it screams out

is this fair

Years of work
electrons flow

waves are square

Time has come
to leave this

world bare

The last nerve
stepped on

does anybody care

Light falls across
a darkened room

I see it there

My fleeting sanity

Amazing...you said so much with so little. A wonderful write! :D It was poetic, deep, and almost...haunting. I loved it. The words came together beautifully...wrapping up in the end perfectly. A wonderful job! I'm looking forward to more from you!:)

Dear Sir,
I am not sure
friend or foe

don't really care

Reality is slow
the line thin

I would call it a very poetic and ingenious kind of insanity which I wish to be blessed with.
The imagery, the contrast, the cohesion (line,thin,falls across , a darkened room) all give a very meaningful thought.Much madness is divine sense.
Wonderful poem
Bless you

I'm very pleased that in the intervening 4 and 1/2 years, the vision remained just that--a vision. But as readable and meaningful today as so many others found it then. ^^

Ooooo! I love poems that really make you feel. This one is light, but kinda makes you want to don that nice little happy stray jacket and throw yourself up against those glorious padded walls! Short and sweet wording really gets the feeling across! Perfectly crafted for the effect and just overall great! (kinda describes how I feel right now O.o)
