A Silly Dance

8 Comments Posted by smirklord on November 17, 2013

I find no need
for you to dance
so elaborately-

around the table,
and the potted plant, that
potted plant, that
plotted to steal
your mind.

Then you’ll say,
soon you’ll find
the funny in
finding fools: familiar
and otherwise, too.

And then, there’s
the when: the when- when
worry’ll mend
your sorry ways- when
you’ll see it was
never more ever than:
a means to an
end.

You are a poet, so why do you “wish you were” ?

  because attempt doesn’t ascertain accomplishment.

    Accomplishment is a journey, not a destination. The way I see it, you are on that road.

    I see your point, and thank you for the compliment 🙂

Hey there,

Is it meant to be this way?
” the funny in
finding fools”

BTW, I felt that the poem was a bit narrow to interpret or am I the only one facing so? It was good though.

  It is meant to be that way. Does it not come across right?
  Narrow how? And, thanks 🙂

    I felt that fun instead of funny, would served a greater purpose. Is it wrong?

    what I had in mind was the humour as well as the satisfying enjoyment that ‘finding fools’ does bring. So ‘funny’ seemed more appropriately descriptive.
