I don't expect to get encomium
on social media
however
I hate the negativity
on social media
encomium: a speech or piece of writing that praises someone or something highly
books books books
such a wonderful way to escape
the crisp scent of a fresh book
pages upon pages
drifting into other worlds
so much better than reality
dragons and unicorns and demons
are a better alternative
than the boring normal world
libraries are a comfort
so quiet and filled with books

hmmm,

'makes a dune of sandy wasted time'...

feeling that line settle in.  

Eliciting a tingle,
up my spine,
through my circuits,
in my organism.  

Words well worth pondering.  

But wait
there is more...



thanks for the new word
fellow poet here,

'thew',

who knew?

that one so good,
existed,
out there,
for me,
and
for you?



*thanks Richard Barnes!
Thank you Richard Barnes 16h.   for the inspiration your poem gave this morning.


...a dune of sandy wasted time.
Old age,
feel the strength
not from height or thew, but
By a heart profoundly stirred
by prophetic eyes through and through,
the fullness of the past,
But were we ever young?
Now a prison of weary pain
Dull remembrance of what has changed.
Thrown off the cliff of time with
mists that clogs a future pantomime
when it all ends as  the hour glass sands
makes a dune of sandy wasted time.

So many faces in the wind

At the train station

The Glasgow train at 1705 seems late

So many minutes wasted

Should i smoke a cigarette or will the nicotine be wasted

Spending too much time on contemplation

I hope I don't have to purchase a ticket so I can keep the little I have

The train is expensive but I missed the bus

Wouldn't mind a new car but that's too much fuss

— The End —
