Writing a Poem

March 19, 2022 Bobpoem, poetry, writing

I would have to add a few lines. And dedicate years to being aimless. But over time

I would become familiar with the ill-fitted dusk on the city. My heart fills with the misplaced.

It does seem unlikely
I will put a handle on this.

Indefinite wonderful.

I love this! “And dedicate years to being aimless” strikes me, as does “My heart fills with the misplaced.” A pleasure to read.

somehow I missed this one: short, succinct and sharp: that line ‘Indefinite wonderful’ is all embracing: life is wonderful in all its complexity and contradictions, embrace it; there’s no need to have a handle on everything; ‘the ill-fitted dusk’ sums it up well ;
