AN ODE TO A POEM

it is more than just some random words
rhythmically entwined,
it's like a jigsaw puzzle
of a thought inside your mind,

Bravo and well said poet!

The flow and rhyming of this was impeccable, but the message?
Brilliant. I adore the comparison of the jigsaw puzzle to a thought
inside our minds ... perfectly put. And sometimes that puzzle is
hard to piece together ... even for the poet.

Exceptional post! Welcome to YPDC!!

Like the jigsaw puzzle mentioned
I have often started on a route to one place
and wound up in another.
When the words come, they provide their own direction.
Very well written

Good, I agree. I'm more of a guy who says what Robert Frost said about poems, "Poetry is when an emotion has thought, and the though has found words" ♥ EEEK!! x]
