Hearing insanity toiling
through the moving wall
that pulses in astonishment
though expresses no emotion.
All of this soupy mess is mine.

Mmmm….I love soup. 😉

I was hoping there was someone out there who loved soup, maybe even French Onion soup with loads of croutons mucking it up.

My soup is usually more crouton/cracker than soup.
Oh, yeah, and cheese. Lots and lots of cheese!

You speak truth, with no hint of of denial. If you can see it, speak to it through poetry in your case, someone else another medium. True, ones own insanity is theirs, but if you have an audience then one is not alone with it. Yes? You write, I listen, write enough and at the very least I understand it better over time.

Our soupy messes, our moving walls, our toiling insanity, our beautiful Our-ness…if I could walk the walk and talk the talk with you tonight amongst Pacific driftwood by moon-touched waves, I hear us laughing at laughter…

I’m lifted by your identifying words. Thank you so much for the comment!

I love your word choice. Toiling…pulses…soupy. I’ve kept this one in my inbox and I’ve read it several times. Sometimes I think the only indicator of good writing (versus not-good writing) is word choice.
#8 by Carl on September 9, 2014 - 2:30 pm
Oh, Kay, thank you! Your words are very kind! I’m going to keep trying!

“Hearing insanity toiling.” It does toil. Works very hard at making me more crazy.

the image of the wall showing no emotion is strong….hope the mess is not too bad anymore…
#11 by Carl D'Agostino on June 8, 2015 - 12:13 pm

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Father and I left Miami in January and now live in Greensboro, NC.
#15 by Carl on December 27, 2015 - 8:36 pm
Thank you, Carl. I hope Greensboro is good to you. I hope to break my creative block in the new year.

Powerful emotion expressed in so few words.

And the delicacy
Of the messy soup, too
Is also
