I am sending out and searching for
the things that went,
that went before,
looking for the words that mean
not exactly the same thing
when frightfully beginning to unveil
the truth that holds out, fraught and pale,
wishing in the whispered nights
of things gone wrong,
of lives gone right.
Ghostly messengers of our strife
spreading word of eternal life
to masses waiting at the helm
steering the world ship 'round and 'round,
as they send out,
and as they search for,
what ever went,
and went before.

so you do have internet there! i like it, except this part "to masses waiting at the helm
ReplyDeletesteering the world ship 'round and 'round," feels off. so did you pick up the repetition thing from mimi (meaning get into a mood to repeat things) b/c her last 2 poems also had repetition. or was it just coincidence?
I frequently repeat things. It is a literary device called a "refrain." So, yes, it is a coincidence.
ReplyDeleteno, i know you repeat things (and i know what a refrain is, as i use it myself), i just meant did you feel like writing something with a refrain after reading mimi's recent works, or was it complete chance. i didn't mean it in any bad way. just i know a bunch of times when i write something and mimi reads it, she says that she feels like writing afterwards, and vice versa. so just curious if you had just gone through that as well, or it really was complete chance.
